Just a simple group photo made the usually composed girl as happy as a child, and how could Yanluo possibly betray this precious friendship?
"There will be many more in the future."
Yan Luo reached out and ruffled Fan Qianning's hair, making Fan Qianning realize that she had just lost her composure.
Fan Qianning's fingertips turned white from gripping the photo frame so tightly, and she recalled the scene when Yanluo rejected her and her sister that day.
A momentary difficulty breathing emboldened Fan Qianning. She raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.
"Yan-ge, before we go home, how about we be temporary lovers for a while?"
Yanluo met his gaze, said nothing, but instead smiled gently and replied with an "okay".
Yanluo opened the car door for the girl, bowed slightly, and gestured for her to get in, saying, "Baby, please get in the car."
Fan Qianning smiled and nodded, and the two set off again on their way to the Fan residence.
Fan Qianning was in a good mood at the moment, chatting casually with Yan Luo.
When you're having so much fun chatting, you lose track of time.
When we arrived at the Fan residence, it was a little after eight o'clock. Fan Wujiu had just returned from the lakeside park. The old man was wearing sportswear and had a sports towel draped over his shoulder, clearly indicating that he had run there and back.
Upon seeing his eldest granddaughter and grandson return, Fan Wujiu raised his one arm to greet the two as they got out of the car, saying, "My dear granddaughter and grandson-in-law are back."
Fan Qianning thought about her current love game with Yanluo, and surprisingly, she didn't feel shy about refuting her grandfather's words.
Yanluo then took over the conversation, saying, "Master, we're back."
"Have you had breakfast? If not, I'll have Afu ask the kitchen to make something." Fan Wujiu looked at Yanluo and his eldest granddaughter with a smile in his eyes.
"I've already eaten, sir."
Fan Wujiu nodded, turned around and walked into the mansion, with Yanluo and Fan Qianning silently following behind him.
Inside the familiar pavilion, Shangguan Wanying was arranging flowers. When she saw her husband, eldest granddaughter, and eldest grandson walking over, she stopped what she was doing, got up, and ran towards Yanluo. She looked Yanluo up and down, touching and poking it.
"Are you alright, Xiao Luo?"
Seeing Shangguan Wanying's worried expression, Yanlu shook her head, and Shangguan Wanying took her hand.
"I'm fine, Grandma."
Shangguan Wanying pulled Yanluo down to sit, stroking his hands with both of hers, truly caring for him as if he were her own grandson.
Yan Luo felt a warm glow in his heart as he explained the events of the past few days to his parents.
Nangong's affairs and my own affairs...
After hearing this, the two elders looked at Yanluo with heartache, not knowing what to say to comfort her. Fan Qianning sat next to Yanluo, her eyes visibly uneasy.
She wanted to hold Yanluo's hand, but she didn't know what status or right she had to do so.
Remembering their temporary relationship, Fan Qianning finally felt at ease holding Yanluo's hand, but she didn't expect that as soon as she held Yanluo's hand, Yanluo would tighten his grip on it.
Fan Qianning didn't understand why, and looked at Yan Luo with a puzzled look in her eyes.
While Fan Wujiu and Shangguan Wanying were processing their emotions, Yanluo quietly leaned close to Fan Qianning's ear and said, "We're lovers now, so it's only right that we hold hands."
Looking at Yan Luo's smile, Fan Qian Ning's heart trembled violently.
Fan Wujiu and Shangguan Wanying also noticed Fan Qianning and Yanlu holding hands. Fan Wujiu said sourly, "Sigh, she really values her lover more than her master."
"Grandpa!" Fan Qianning couldn't help but call out, her face flushed with adorable shyness.
Shangguan Wanying punched Fan Wujiu and said to Fan Qianning, "Ningning, weren't you going to pack some things to take with you? Go with Xiaoyan."
Fan Qianning nodded upon hearing this and pulled Yanluo towards her room on the second floor.
The Fan residence was very large, and even Fan Qianning's private room was spacious. Yan Luo surveyed everything in the room.
This made Fan Qianning very shy.
"No, don't look at Yan-ge..." the girl's voice was very soft.
Yanluo sat down on the edge of the large bed covered with pink sheets and joked, "We're lovers now, what's wrong with me looking into my girlfriend's room?"
Fan Qianning pouted and angrily moved closer to him, raising her small fist to punch Yan Luo's chest a few times.
Leaning too far forward, Fan Qianning lost her balance and fell on Yan Luo. Fan Qianning's hands rested on Yan Luo's face, and the soft touch made Yan Luo quite shy. The two looked at each other.
Fan Qianning pursed her lips, clearly nervous, and these small gestures did not escape Yan Luo's notice.
“We’re lovers now, so it’s not too much to do things that lovers should do, right?” Fan Qianning suddenly said, catching Yan Luo off guard.
As Fan Qianning's lips drew closer, Yan Luo had already decided to follow her heart. Her hot breath hit her face, and Yan Luo's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
The moment their lips touched, Fan Qianning seemed to be electrocuted and quickly got up from Yan Luo, sitting down next to him, at a loss.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Captain. Yes, it was my rudeness."
Yan Luo sat up and stared at Fan Qianning's shy expression for a while before reaching out and pinching Fan Qianning's chin, turning her towards him.
Under Fan Qianning's incredulous gaze, Yan Luo, with his eyes closed, kissed her.
When they parted, Yanluo said with a smile, "Then I'll be rude to you too."
Fan Qianning's mind went blank; she collapsed onto the bed, utterly exhausted, seemingly unable to believe it.
After a long silence, Fan Qianning belatedly asked, "Brother Yan, do you like me?"
"Did you notice?" Yan Luo was still sitting next to Fan Qian Ning, and from Fan Qian Ning's perspective as she lay down, she could clearly see the slightly red behind Yan Luo's ears.
Yan Luo turned around and looked at Fan Qianning. Fan Qianning propped herself up, and she found the answer in Yan Luo's eyes once again.
The young man's eyes no longer held only tenderness, but also affection for Fan Qianning.
Fan Qianning was shocked and stunned. She was happy, but quickly calmed down.
Thank you for liking it.
Just like Yan Luo's rejection that day, Fan Qianning also rejected Yan Luo's affections.
On the night Yan Luo returned, while he and Tu Luoxue were apologizing to Su Qing and their lovers, the Wu Chang sisters, who had just opened the door, overheard their conversation.
The two sisters really liked Yanluo, but they also understood that even if Su Qing could accept that Yanluo had multiple lovers, there was always a limit to that acceptance.
Fan Qianning and Xie Huai'an cried all night and finally reached a consensus: as long as they could be by Yanluo's side, they shouldn't ask for too much.
Even though Yanluo intended to confront her feelings, Fan Qianning and Xie Huai'an still chose to refuse, as they could not hurt Su Qing.
Su Qing has always been kind to those around her, not only Su Qing, but also Chi Miaomiao, Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci.
Especially Shang Xinci, who taught Fan Qianning magic.
With just one sentence, Yanluo understood everything, and he pretended to be frustrated.
"I was rejected, I'm so heartbroken, heartbroken to death." After saying that, he clutched his heart with a pained expression.
