Seeing that the other party had indeed let her into the house, Tang Tian'er couldn't help but feel smug. Even if you're a block of wood, I can still make you burn.
“My surname is An.” Zu An naturally wouldn’t tell her his real name. He then looked at her with a half-smile. “The soundproofing in this private room at Xiaoyao Tower is excellent. Aren’t you afraid I might do something rude to you if you close the door?”
This is the VIP room for the Jade Brand. As long as the windows are closed, the outside noise is almost instantly blocked out, which is obviously a well-designed feature.
Tang Tian'er revealed a sweet smile: "How could a distinguished guest like you, young master, be the kind of unromantic and ignorant man? Of course I have nothing to fear."
Zuan said calmly, "Don't you know that the more VIPs we are, the more likely we are to have some perverted fetishes?"
Tang Tian'er: "..."
Her words left her speechless, unsure how to respond.
Normally, shouldn't they exchange a few flirty words, and the ambiguous atmosphere gradually intensifies without them even realizing it?
Zu'an's attention was still on Sun Ji, and he had no intention of being polite with her: "Didn't you say you were here to deliver something? Where is it?"
Tang Tian'er's smile froze again, but she still took out a bag from the ring on her hand: "Everything is inside, Young Master An, please check it."
Zuan glanced at her ring. Having been in this world for so long, he could tell it was a spatial artifact. However, most spatial artifacts were storage bags. Those that were as small as a ring were extremely rare and precious. Was she really just an ordinary host?
He had doubts in his heart, but he didn't show them. He took the bag and carefully checked it. These items were related to Daji's breakthrough, so he naturally had to be careful.
After confirming that everything was correct, he took out a stack of silver notes: "Miss Tang, please count them."
Tang Tian'er casually took it and put it back into the ring: "I trust someone like you, young master, so there's no need to ask."
This makes Zuan's behavior seem rather petty.
"This woman really holds grudges; she'll get revenge for even the smallest thing," Zu'an muttered to himself.
Tang Tian'er spoke up again, her eyes filled with curiosity: "Young Master is clearly as gentle and refined as jade, completely different from the image you just presented to everyone."
Zu An wondered when he had become associated with gentle and refined manners, but he still quite enjoyed the other party's flattery: "It only proves that you don't know me well enough."
Tang Tian'er smiled, her body involuntarily moving a few steps closer to the other person: "Then, young master, could you give me a chance to get to know you properly?"
She struck the perfect balance between them; any closer and she would have seemed too frivolous, any further and the ambiguous, unspoken connection would have been lost.
Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from the other woman so close to him, Zu An was taken aback. Was this woman trying to seduce him?
Am I so charming that I can make people throw themselves into my arms even through a mask?
He smiled and said, "Girl, please give me a chance to get to know you."
"How does the young master wish to understand?" Tang Tian'er thought to herself, "I really think you're a blockhead. Now that there's been interaction, everything else is under control."
"Of course, I'll get to know it better."
"Young Master is so naughty!" Tang Tian'er, being in a place like Xiaoyao Tower, naturally understood the implication immediately, and gently punched Zu An's shoulder a few times with her pink fist.
As a social butterfly, she naturally knew that appropriate physical contact could quickly close the distance between two people and make a man subconsciously think that she had enough affection for him.
Zuan was well aware of her tricks, but if it really came down to it, who was afraid of who?
He instinctively reached out to put his arm around her waist, because he suddenly realized that he might need her as a witness in the future.
Unexpectedly, Tang Tian'er, as if she had foreseen this, twisted her waist and skillfully dodged his hand. The smile on her face was replaced by worry: "Young Master, besides bringing you something, I also want to remind you of something. You may be new to Yi County and unaware of the background of the person you just offended. His father, Sun Xun, is the Prime Minister of the Yan Kingdom. Within this vast area, he is second only to the Emperor. Young Master Sun is also extremely favored and usually acts recklessly in Yi County. No one dares to offend him."
"You offended him in front of everyone just now. Given his nature, he will definitely retaliate against you. So, young master, you'd better be careful, or notify your family's experts to come and protect you. Don't be careless."
A relationship with a man is like fishing; the best strategy is to reel him in and let him go. If you've just shown your charm and stirred his heart, but keep giving him easy rewards, his allure will diminish. On the contrary, this unrequited love can gradually drive a man to mad infatuation.
Zu An was taken aback: "We've only just met, why are you being so kind to me? If Sun Ji finds out, it's clearly an offense against the Sun family."
On the surface, he was extremely grateful, but inwardly he sneered. He already knew most of what the other party had said from the discussions in the hall, so the other party had not given him any truly useful information. Instead, they were subtly trying to find out his background.
If it were a young person, they might actually be moved to tears, but unfortunately, the other person is me.
Hey, isn't this female sea queen afraid of encountering a shark while raising fish?
Tang Tian'er said softly, "Officially, young master is a distinguished guest of Xiaoyao Tower, and we naturally do not want to see anything happen to him; personally..."
She paused, glanced at him with a shy look, and then said softly, "I just witnessed your heroic spirit, and I admire you greatly. Naturally, I don't want anything bad to happen to you."
