Inside Qi Xiao's room.

With a creak, the door opened.

With a loud bang, the door was slammed shut.

Before Qin Wan could react, her back was forced against the hard door panel.

The man's hot, burning breath enveloped her...

"Hmm..."

Qin Wan was about to say something, but her words were cut off before she could speak.

The man's androgynous, handsome face drew closer, growing larger in her eyes...

You are mine!

Qi Xiao asserted his dominance in a domineering manner, his tone clearly showing displeasure.

Qin Wan: "..." Throughout the entire meal, she and Ji Wenruo exchanged no more than three sentences.

During the meal, she only served him food, never daring to point her chopsticks at Ji Wenruo.

Her favoritism was so obvious, yet this man was still petty...

Qin Wan's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, which ultimately turned into a deep sense of helplessness and a bright, doting look in her eyes.

...

After the passionate kiss ended, Qi Xiao reluctantly withdrew, his burning gaze fixed on Qin Wan's flushed face, which was red from difficulty breathing.

"Qi Xiao!" Qin Wan glared at him, her eyes filled with a mixture of anger and reproach, which made Qi Xiao's breath catch in his throat, his eyes darken, and his Adam's apple bob.

I really want to...

I really want to...

Eat it all in one bite!

[Ri Qixiao's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 89.]

In the end, Qi Xiao managed to hold back.

He was afraid of scaring her.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiao could only suppress the trembling in his heart, take a deep breath, and bury his face deeply in Qin Wan's sensitive and warm neck.

Warm breath sprayed continuously onto her neck, causing Qin Wan's delicate body to tremble slightly and freeze.

!!

That bad man!

The tingling sensation on her neck made Qin Wan afraid to move.

"I like you... Qin Wan..."

"Wanwan?"

"Wan'er?"

Outside, the sky gradually darkened, and as time passed, Qi Xiao's burning breaths gradually cooled down and eventually returned to normal.

Just as he calmed down and looked up, his tall frame suddenly took a step back...

The next second...

With Qin Wan as a witness, Qi Xiao closed his eyes and his tall body collapsed limply...

Seeing this, Qin Wan reacted quickly and hugged him in time.

Looking at Qi Xiao, whose breathing was even and steady in her arms, Qin Wan couldn't help but sigh softly.

This man...

That's really true...

Before Qin Wan could carry the man to the bed, just a step away from the bed, the "unconscious" man in her arms suddenly moved.

The next second, a pair of long, slender hands with distinct knuckles silently wrapped around her warm neck.

"General?"

"What a coincidence..."

"We meet again..." Qi Xiao glanced at Qin Wan with a half-smile.

Qin Wan: "..."

Seeing Qin Wan remain silent, Qi Xiao didn't panic, nor did he rush to leave her embrace.

His dark eyes flickered with emotion, and his gaze at Qin Wan was both intense and tinged with awkwardness and strangeness.

Yes, he's different from how he is during the day.

Qi Xiao clearly remembered everything that happened during the day...

And he was fully aware of all his thoughts and feelings about Qin Wan during the day.

I like her!

I want her!

I want to hide her... or rather, lock her up!

He wanted her to belong to him alone.

They don't want others to find out, and they are terrified of being discovered.

"General, is there nothing you wish to say to your subordinate?" Qi Xiao raised an eyebrow, glancing at Qin Wan with a meaningful look.

Qin Wan: "..."

"You come down first."

Qin Wan let go, and Qi Xiao didn't make things difficult for her. He landed steadily on his feet, but his hands, which were still wrapped around her neck, didn't leave.

Qin Wan: "..."

"let go."

Meeting Qin Wan's deep gaze, Qi Xiao smiled.

"What's wrong with a hug?"

"We've already kissed."

Qi Xiao said confidently, his gaze occasionally sweeping over her exceptionally rosy lips as he spoke.

"Qi Xiao!" Qin Wan's tone was serious, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

"Oh!"

"You're treating me differently, aren't you?"

Qi Xiao sneered, released his arms from Qin Wan's neck, and, still angry and aggrieved, shoved her shoulder.

Qin Wan was caught off guard by the push and involuntarily took several steps back.

Qin Wan: "..." My hands are itching; I want to punch someone.

"Oh!"

Meeting Qin Wan's displeased gaze, Qi Xiao sneered again, his eyes blatantly filled with dissatisfaction and annoyance.

This woman's preferential treatment is so obvious!

They're both him, so why can the one during the day just hug and kiss him however she wants, while she's all gentle and considerate in coaxing him?

When it was his turn at night, she wouldn't even hug him. This woman is such a hypocrite!

Qi Xiao became increasingly annoyed and frustrated as he thought about it.

[Ye Qixiao's favorability decreased by 5, current favorability is 28.]

Are you hungry?

Qin Wan ignored his grievances and anger, and suddenly asked with concern.

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiao was taken aback and subconsciously touched his flat stomach.

"...A little."

What would you like to eat?

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiao's eyes flickered slightly, and his gaze towards Qin Wan was full of meaning. "Anything is fine as long as you cook it."

Qin Wan: "..."

Fifteen minutes later...

In the inn's kitchen.

Qin Wan wielded the large ladle like a sharp sword, her movements swift and graceful.

The hot soup in the pot was boiling, and various seasonings and noodles were added one after another...

Soon, a bowl of hot beef brisket noodle soup was ready.

Looking at the delicious-looking hot noodle soup in front of him, a hint of doubt appeared in Qi Xiao's eyes.

After a brief hesitation, he finally picked up his chopsticks and tentatively took a small bite...

Qi Xiao: "!!!"

[Ye Qixiao's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 30.]

tasty!!!

"I didn't know you had such good cooking skills?"

While eating his noodles, Qi Xiao glanced up at Qin Wan, his eyes filled with surprise and astonishment.

Qin Wan smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiao raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of pleasure.

[Ye Qixiao's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 32.]

Hmph, he's a magnanimous man who doesn't hold grudges against petty people, and he won't stoop to the level of a young woman like her.

Thinking of this, Qi Xiao lowered his head and focused on eating the bowl of hot soup noodles that filled him with happiness.

I have to say, Qin Wan's cooking skills are really good!

Moreover, this was the first time she had cooked for him.

This was a treatment he never received during the day.

He was the first to get a taste!

We were the first to get to eat it!

Thinking of this, Qi Xiao felt wonderful.

[Ye Qixiao's favorability increased by 5, current favorability 37.]

After feeling jealous of himself, Qi Xiao's intense possessiveness didn't stop him from pressing Ji Wenruo for answers...

"Has Ji Wenruo ever eaten the noodles you cooked?"

As Qi Xiao ate, he asked questions, his dark eyes fixed on Qin Wan, afraid of missing even the slightest change in her emotions.

Yes, influenced by his daytime self, Qi Xiao at night was also very bothered by the existence of "Ji Wenruo".

"No," Qin Wan said, glancing at him indifferently.

"I hadn't learned it when I was at the Prince of Huainan's residence," Qin Wan explained.

Upon hearing this, Qi Xiao's thin lips curved slightly, indicating his satisfaction.

Qi Xiao's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 39.
