Chapter 301

She cast a glance at Ye Xuan, her eyes brimming with affection, her tone already laced with a soft, coquettish lilt.

"Mr. Ye, can you answer my original question now?"

The corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth curled slightly. He was about to continue, but upon recalling how Gao Yuanyuan addressed him, he added, as a rare exception:

"Calling me 'Mr. Ye' is too formal. You can just call me by my name."

Yet, as soon as these words left his lips, Gao Yuanyuan shook her head like a rattle-drum.

At first, she had also felt that calling him "Mr. Ye" was incredibly distant, creating a sense of separation.

But once she thought of the other meaning behind the word "Mr.", she felt a surge of sweetness instead.

If only she could keep calling him that forever...

Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan was unwilling to change how she addressed him, Ye Xuan didn't say anything more and slowly began to answer the initial question.

"The time of Yuan Chun's visit home..."

After all, he had already enjoyed the benefits; he couldn't just welch on the deal, right?!

The meal ended quickly.

Just as Ye Xuan was preparing to send Gao Yuanyuan back, he noticed a remarkably distinct flush on her face.

A voice as soft as a mosquito's hum sounded.

"Mr. Ye, would you mind if I didn't go back tonight?"

Ye Xuan doubted his own ears for a moment.

Was this... an invitation?

Noticing that Gao Yuanyuan was so shy she had lowered her head, Ye Xuan finally believed he hadn't misheard.

"You're not joking?"

Seeing Ye Xuan’s earnest gaze fixed on her, Gao Yuanyuan’s face turned a deep crimson, yet she nodded without hesitation.

She had already made up her mind on the way here.

What did a confession matter?

What did a title matter?

Hadn't she kept herself pure for all these years just to wait for the person she liked?

Now, Ye Xuan met the standards in her heart in every aspect.

Since that was the case, why not give it a try?

Only by becoming Ye Xuan’s woman could she truly feel at ease.

Although she hadn't said it aloud, Gao Yuanyuan’s thoughts had already been perceived by Ye Xuan.

Thinking of Gao Yuanyuan, who had won runner-up at the Meng Hu platform for several consecutive years, taking the initiative to deliver herself to him, Ye Xuan’s gaze deepened.

"Let's go."

As for where, it was naturally to a hotel.

Gao Yuanyuan blushed, remaining silent the entire way.

Once they reached the hotel room, thinking of what was to come, she endured the heat and was the first to head into the bathroom.

It wasn't until the door clicked shut that she remembered she hadn't brought anything...

What was she to do?

On the other side, watching Gao Yuanyuan rush into the bathroom, Ye Xuan couldn't help but chuckle.

She was clearly so shy by nature, yet the words she spoke were so bold?!

Looking around, Ye Xuan’s smile suddenly froze.

The bathroom design was actually frosted glass...

This meant that even though he wasn't in the bathroom, Gao Yuanyuan’s movements inside were clearly visible to Ye Xuan.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became flirtatious.

When the bathroom door opened, Ye Xuan’s gaze probed inward.

A bath towel, wrapped from her chest to the tops of her thighs, encased her heart-stirring body.

It revealed her slender, cream-like arms and her rounded, fair legs.

At that moment, Gao Yuanyuan, barefoot, happened to be bending over to put on her slippers.

Her wet, long hair hung behind her, sliding down to the side of her face with her movement, covering most of her cheek.

Yet, it half-covered and half-revealed, exposing her fair, pert nose tip just perfectly.

It was a living, breathing picture of a beauty emerging from a bath...

Seemingly sensing Ye Xuan’s gaze, Gao Yuanyuan felt the heat on her cheeks never subside.

Picking up the hairdryer, she leaned against Ye Xuan, her face flushed, her voice softening.

"Mr. Ye, would you help me dry my hair?"

How could Ye Xuan refuse a beauty's soft-spoken request?

Nodding, Ye Xuan took the hairdryer and flipped the switch.

As the warm air blew out, he picked up a strand of hair that still held moisture and began to blow it dry slowly.

He was meticulous, but an inner restlessness began to rise.

After all, when his fingers lifted the wet hair, the fair neck and skin beneath were clearly exposed before Ye Xuan.

The contrast of black and white firmly captured Ye Xuan’s attention.

After a long while, feeling the hair turn dry, Ye Xuan’s voice sounded by Gao Yuanyuan’s ear.

"That's enough."

Hearing this, Gao Yuanyuan turned her head slightly, and Ye Xuan’s eyes deepened.

He saw that Gao Yuanyuan’s bathrobe was slightly loose; looking down from above, her fair, cream-like skin revealed a slightly rising curve...

Sensing Ye Xuan’s gaze, Gao Yuanyuan endured her shyness and pecked him lightly on the lips.

And this action was already an implication.

Sure enough, Ye Xuan’s breathing grew heavy.

The next instant, he pulled Gao Yuanyuan’s body over to sit across his lap and kissed her without hesitation.

To prevent Gao Yuanyuan from sliding down, Ye Xuan wrapped an arm around her waist, while his other hand touched her rounded thigh.

Feeling the unfamiliar strength, Gao Yuanyuan trembled uncontrollably, the flush on her face becoming even more pronounced.

With skin touching skin and breaths entwined, she felt her body temperature rise sharply, yet she cooperated extremely well, leaning gently into Ye Xuan’s arms and parting her lips slightly.

The loosely gathered bathrobe had already come undone in their embrace.

A large expanse of cream-white, smooth skin was fully exposed.

With just a gentle tug, it would come completely undone, without a shred of concealment.

When she noticed she was almost completely naked, while Ye Xuan remained exactly as he had been when they first entered, Gao Yuanyuan bit her lower lip and finally whispered this:

"Mr. Ye, I'm afraid of pain, please be gentle."

The next morning, as the sunlight spilled in through the window, Ye Xuan opened his eyes.

The first thing he did upon waking was to search for his phone.

Moving his body slightly, he noticed an abnormality different from usual.

Gao Yuanyuan was sleeping beside him, her snowy shoulders exposed amidst her disheveled long hair.

Everything from last night came rushing back.

Thinking of Gao Yuanyuan’s performance yesterday, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a bit moved.

He never expected her to have such a side.

After all, Gao Yuanyuan’s label had always been pure and gentle...

But who would have known, last night she was as fiery as a rose?!

Truly, one cannot judge a person by their appearance, just as one cannot measure the sea with a bucket.

Just as Ye Xuan was reminiscing, seemingly woken by his movements, Gao Yuanyuan’s eyes slowly opened.

Her eyes were dazed at first, but upon seeing Ye Xuan, a flash of bewilderment crossed them.

She seemed to be wondering why Ye Xuan was here.
