Guest rooms on the first floor of the Jiang family's old house.

Qin Wan put down the first-aid kit and carefully reached out to unbutton Jiang Yan's shirt...

"I'm fine."

Jiang Yan grabbed her hand, his face full of unspeakable emotions.

"no."

Qin Wan shook her head stubbornly, her eyes slightly red, as if she was nervously worried about Jiang Yan, or as if she felt guilty.

"I won't feel at ease unless I see it with my own eyes."

Jiang Yan: "..." But that's not what you really think.

I don't know how badly I was burned.

Thank goodness...

The skin was only red from the burn through the clothes.

Hmm, just as I imagined...

There is information! ! !

I really want to reach out and touch it...

How about we just touch it?

She is always self-disciplined; if she says she'll touch it once, she'll only touch it once, and she'll never touch it more than once!

As Qin Wan's thoughts changed, her body reacted accordingly.

Warm fingertips gently touched his chest, which still retained a burning heat...

She poked him casually...

Then surprise appeared in his eyes, as if he had never seen anything like it before and was making a fuss over nothing.

"..." Jiang Yan's lips twitched involuntarily.

"I'll apply burn ointment to your burns."

Even though his skin was only slightly red and there was no need for burn ointment, Qin Wan insisted on applying a thick layer to it no matter how much Jiang Yan refused.

While applying the medicine, her warm fingertips were surprisingly obedient, but her inner thoughts were anything but obedient.

I really want to...

I want to so much...

No, I have to hold back!

I need to maintain my composure!

I want to be a lady!

I can't be reckless!

I haven't even won him over yet, I absolutely can't scare him away!

Jiang Yan: "..."

I'm so reluctant to leave.

Should we apply it a little longer?

He probably won't notice, right?

As Qin Wan was thinking, she reached for the burn ointment again, but a long, slender hand grabbed her and stopped her.

"That's fine."

"You've applied enough," Jiang Yan reminded him.

"Well... alright then." Qin Wan raised her eyes and cautiously glanced at the thick layer on his chest, a hint of regret flashing quickly in her eyes.

Taking in her expression, a hint of helplessness flashed in Jiang Yan's eyes.

Qin Wan casually tossed the burn ointment back into the first-aid kit and then closed it, feigning disappointment.

Suddenly, a long, slender hand grabbed her wrist and gently turned her around, forcing her lower back against the cabinet...

"You seem... very unhappy?" Jiang Yan suddenly asked.

A flicker of panic crossed Qin Wan's eyes. "I...I didn't."

"Is it disappointment?" Jiang Yan asked again.

"No." Qin Wan denied it outright, a look of tension appearing in her eyes, and even her breathing became noticeably lighter.

"Is it because...you can't bear to part with it?"

As he spoke, Jiang Yan lowered his head and leaned closer to her, so close that Qin Wan could clearly feel his warm breath spraying on her face.

Thump!

Thump!

The violently pounding heartbeat brought a faint blush to Qin Wan's cheeks.

She was so nervous that she seemed to forget to breathe, and subconsciously wanted to lower her head and avoid Jiang Yan's burning gaze.

Unexpectedly, the man's long, slender hand gripped her chin tightly, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze.

"Are you shy?"

"still……"

Excited?

excited?

Through Qin Wan's eyes, Jiang Yan got the answer he wanted.

As Jiang Yan's handsome face grew larger and larger in her eyes, Qin Wan nervously held her breath, looking completely at a loss...

Stay calm!

Stay calm!

We absolutely mustn't scare him away!

Stay calm!

Don't panic!

I can do it!

Just as he was about to kiss her red lips, Jiang Yan's movements froze strangely.

His eyes were filled with complex emotions, and he looked at her with a face that seemed to say something he couldn't quite put into words...

Why aren't you kissing me anymore?

Could it be that they're waiting for me to make the first move?

But I am a refined, shy, and reserved lady. How could I do something so reckless?

Why is he still not moving?

Or should I do it myself?

Thinking it over, Qin Wan took a deep breath without making a sound...

However, before she could make a move, the man's long, slender hand silently reached behind her head and gently pressed her towards him.

The moment their lips touched, a tingling, itchy sensation swept through their bodies, like an electric current, striking straight to their hearts.

Jiang Yan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 95.

"good."

"Close your eyes."

"Focus."

Jiang Yan's slightly helpless words came through.

Qin Wan blinked blankly until Jiang Yan stopped his lip movements. After a second of stiffness, Qin Wan decisively closed her eyes.

The scream in my head finally disappeared...

Jiang Yan let out a long sigh of relief before gradually deepening the kiss.

Jiang Yan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 97.

Sure enough, she was still very well-behaved and endearing when she closed her eyes.

After the kiss ended, Jiang Yan pressed his forehead against hers, his deep black eyes staring straight into hers, his expression full of helplessness and doting affection.

They kissed!

We finally kissed!

I love it!

I love the feeling of kissing him!

I'm liking him more and more!

I want to pounce...

Warm, thin lips landed on her eyelids, forcing Qin Wan to subconsciously close her eyes.

"good."

Jiang Yan gently comforted her.

As he spoke, Jiang Yanxiu silently wrapped his long arms around her waist, gently pulling her into his embrace.

Let's date.

"...Okay." After feigning shyness and reserve for a second, Qin Wan agreed without any surprise.

“We’ll break off the engagement as soon as we go out,” Jiang Yan added.

"good."

"You are not allowed to see Han Sinian again." The topic suddenly jumped.

"good."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan smiled with satisfaction.

Even though he had already planned a series of arrangements to send Han Sinian abroad, he still minded.

She was bothered that Han Sinian was Qin Wan's first love.

I mind that they've held hands, hugged, or even kissed...

Right cheek...

dimples...

Jiang Yan suddenly released his grip on Qin Wan, and in Qin Wan's bewildered gaze, his long, warm fingertips touched the dimple at the corner of her lips...

Gently, very gently, I caressed it...

The force unconsciously increased...

Finally, as the shadows descended once more, Qin Wan looked up and met Jiang Yan's deep, dark eyes.

The next second, a warm touch came from my cheek...

Jiang Yan was... kissing her dimples?

Upon thinking of this, Qin Wan was taken aback.

Is he jealous?

Thinking of this, Qin Wan's lips curled up, her eyes filled with sweetness.

It's good to be jealous.

She loves it when he's jealous of her.

I love how crazy he is about her.

As she was thinking, Qin Wan quietly wrapped her arms around Jiang Yan's neck.

Upon noticing her response, Jiang Yan's eyes darkened.

The next second, Qin Wan's chin was forcefully lifted again, and a fierce kiss landed on her once more...

Jiang Yan's favorability increased by 1, current favorability is 98.

There are still two points missing...

Fortunately, Qin Wan wasn't in a hurry.

Inside the room, the young man and woman were locked in a passionate embrace, the fire burning brightly.

Outside the door, the sound of footsteps grew closer and closer, seemingly stopping at the door of the guest room.

A rustling sound came from nearby...

It sounded like a doorknob being turned...

Qin Wan's eyes widened in shock. She placed her hands on Jiang Yan's chest and gently pounded on his chest, signaling him to stop immediately...

The engagement has not been dissolved.

The compensation has not yet been received.

In front of the Jiang family, she must still maintain her victimhood; she absolutely cannot allow anyone to discover that she and Jiang Yan had been having an affair all along!

Despite Qin Wan's gentle tapping and urging gaze, Jiang Yan remained calm.

No, he didn't let go of her; in fact, he tightened his grip around her waist.

He applied slight pressure with his palm, pressing her closer to him and holding her tightly in his arms...
