Lin Xihe almost laughed out of anger when she heard this.

Last night he took advantage of me, exhausting me to the point of near collapse. Just when I was finally able to rest, he came to provoke me again.

Lin Xihe suddenly reached out, got up from the chaise lounge, and half-squatted in front of Mu Ruoyan.

As a result, she was much shorter than Mu Ruoyan.

A faint smile slowly rose to the corners of her lips, her eyes fixed intently on Mu Ruoyan.

Mu Ruoyan's thoughts were instantly disturbed by her smile, and his heart pounded.

Is she... trying to kiss me?

At this moment, Mu Ruoyan was like a naive young man who had just fallen in love for the first time, so nervous that his Adam's apple bobbed up and down and he unconsciously swallowed.

He longed for her to take the initiative, even if it was just a gentle kiss.

Mu Ruoyan gazed at Lin Xihe with deep affection in her eyes, which seemed to overflow with tenderness, yet also carried a hint of nervousness.

Even though they had already had so many intimate encounters, Lin Xihe's proactive manner still made his heart pound as if it were about to jump out of his throat.

Lin Xihe slowly approached, the upward curve of her lips becoming more and more pronounced.

Just as Mu Ruoyan was filled with anticipation, she suddenly lowered her body and then slammed her head hard into Mu Ruoyan's chin.

"ah……"

A muffled groan was heard.

Mu Ruoyan gasped in pain and hurriedly covered her chin.

But Lin Xihe looked smug, showing off her wicked scheme in front of him, watching him cry out in pain because of her sudden sneak attack.

"You wicked woman!" Mu Ruoyan cursed through gritted teeth, both in pain and anger.

"Yeah, what can you do to me? Go ahead and hit me if you dare."

Lin Xihe finally felt relieved and exhilarated.

It's all this person's fault; they just won't let me get a proper rest.

Mu Ruoyan took a few deep breaths, trying to relieve the sharp pain in her chin.

This woman attacked him twice, targeting his vulnerable spots without any mercy, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Lin Xihe, I think you're asking for a beating!"

Mu Ruoyan spoke with a helpless tone; she wasn't usually this mischievous.

The strange thing is that he felt that she was more real and vivid in this unrestrained way, as if the distance between them had suddenly been shortened. He even felt that she was slowly moving closer to him.

"I think you're the one who's asking for it! If you dare to mess with me again, I'll use the Great Shift of the Universe, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and the ultimate skill of flying on a sword to beat you to a pulp!" Lin Xihe said fiercely.

Mu Ruoyan stared at her like this, lost in thought.

How could this happen?

She was clearly like a wildcat, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws, but why did she seem so incredibly cute to him, every move she made seemingly possessing an alluring magic?

"Then...then you should try it. I want to see if I can withstand your powerful moves." He smirked slightly, his eyes full of mischief.

Looking at Mu Ruoyan's expression, Lin Xihe could hardly believe her eyes.

Did she see it wrong?

I just ambushed him, but why is the corner of his mouth turned up in a smile?

There was a hint of smugness in his eyes. What was he up to?

"Are you a pervert?! Mu Ruoyan." She couldn't help but blurt out, her face full of shock.
