"What's wrong?"

Ye Nian'an was somewhat puzzled.

Chu Yan stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace from behind, gently resting his chin on her shoulder. His voice was deep and carried a hint of barely perceptible grievance.

"I'm right here beside you, and all you can think about is your third brother and sister-in-law. They're not even married yet, and you've already planned out how many kids they'll have in the future, haven't you?"

That sour tone was like a jar of vinegar that had been overturned three hundred years ago.

Ye Nian'an was taken aback at first, then burst out laughing.

She turned around, pinched Chu Yan's handsome but feignedly aggrieved face, and smiled with her eyes crinkling.

"Brother Yan, I've discovered that you and Song Yan are indeed half-brothers. Why are you both so jealous?"

"Hmm?" Chu Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Xin'er told me this secretly."

Ye Nian'an leaned close to his ear and said, "She said that when Song Yan gets jealous, he's like a drowning person! If she's around Song Yan and even thinks about someone else, that person will get jealous!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yan showed no embarrassment whatsoever; instead, he embraced her even tighter with a sense of entitlement.

He lowered his head slightly, his nose almost touching hers, his hot breath spraying down on her, his eyes carrying a dangerous aggression.

"Since you know..."

Chu Yan said in his magnetic voice, word by word, "Don't you know that when a man is jealous, he needs to be coaxed?"

Ye Nian'an's heart skipped a beat.

How can this man be so self-righteous even when he's jealous, and he even has the air of a domineering CEO?

"So... how does Chief Chu want me to appease him?"

Ye Nian'an blinked, pretending to be stupid.

Chu Yan's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, his gaze falling on her moist red lips that parted slightly as she spoke, his eyes instantly becoming as deep as the sea.

He didn't speak, but answered with his actions.

A domineering yet tender kiss landed precisely, silencing all her unspoken words.

This kiss carried a hint of punishment, yet was also filled with an intense, unyielding love and possessiveness.

It was a declaration that Ye Nian'an, inside and out, from mind to body, could only belong to him alone.

Ye Nian'an wrapped her arms around his neck.

What's wrong with being a little jealous of your own man?

Just coax them.

The moonlight outside the window was like water, gently spilling into the room and stretching the two figures tightly embracing each other long and thin.

I had a good night's sleep.
