"Yes." Yu Jiuyuan looked directly into his eyes, her tone frank. "After all, how can the person warming your bed not be by your side?"
Her straightforwardness always easily shattered all his pretenses. Rong Shenghan chuckled softly, reached out and picked her up, striding towards the bedroom: "Yes, Miss."
The bed still held the warmth of last night, and the soft bedding sank into a deep cradle.
Rong Shenghan placed her on the bed, bent down and kissed her collarbone, where the faint red mark he had left the night before still remained, like a delicate medal.
“Actually…” Yu Jiuyuan’s fingertips ran through his hair, her voice slightly hoarse with desire, “I want to know more about whether you have any connection with the Su family.”
Rong Shenghan paused, then raised his head, his eyes still filled with desire, but now with a deep, probing look: "What if I said yes?"
Yu Jiuyuan smiled, her fingertips gently tracing his eyebrows and eyes: "Then I would be very happy."
"What are you so happy about?"
"I'm happy to have another reason to 'tame' them."
Her tone was both innocent and cruel, like the master of a puppeteer's strings: "After all, the more secrets you have, the more you can't live without me, can you?"
Rong Shenghan looked at the pure indifference in her eyes and suddenly chuckled softly, his laughter carrying an indescribable indulgence, even... expectation.
"Perhaps." He lowered his head again and kissed her lips, his voice muffled. "That depends on whether Miss has the ability to dig out all my secrets."
The bedroom curtains fluttered gently in the breeze, scattering the afternoon sunlight into dappled fragments that fell upon the two entangled figures.
The fireplace roared to life again, its crackling sounds mingled with suppressed gasps, making the afternoon feel long and ambiguous.
Yu Jiuyuan closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of the man on her body.
She knew that Rong Shenghan's secret was like a seed buried deep under the snow, which would one day sprout.
She had plenty of patience, waiting for that day to come.
After all, the word "give up" was never on her "taming manual".
Whether it's Xie Zhecheng's perfect mask, Lin Yanran's arrogant exterior, or Rong Shenghan's unfathomable mystery, one day, she will personally peel them away to reveal their truest selves.
The force hidden behind the Su family will eventually surface in this game called "Strategy".
All she needed to do was wait patiently, like the most patient hunter, guarding her trap and waiting for her prey to approach step by step.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a long, thin golden ray onto the sheets, like a golden thread that slowly wrapped around the intertwined figures on the bed.
