"Miss." Xu Changâan gently smiled: "Looking at it this way, before I left earlier, making you remove your makeup was perhaps considering this matter."
If Yun Qian had worn lipstick, he certainly wouldnât have bullied her, because messing up her lipstick would let others know the things he had done.
On the contrary, without rouge, he could act so unrestrainedly.
Hearing this, Yun Qian pressed her fingers to the corner of her lips and said nothing.
No matter how cautious a person is, they all have their weaknesses, let alone Xu Changâan, whose weakness was blatantly obvious â lust.
He was a lustful man and a skilled cultivator.
So, the System just needed to guide him a bit, plant a seed, and Xu Changâan would follow his desires.
This was how they captured his weakness.
The System asked him to praise Miss Yun. He hesitated and refused, but after the task failed, he still did such things.
The System asked him to give Miss Yun a kiss. He didnât even think about it and ignored it, but now that the task time limit had long passed, he was still bullying Miss Yun in the carriage.
Whether he completed the task on time... does it matter?
It doesnât matter.
Xu Changâan bullied someone and satisfied his lustful heart, and he was very happy.
Miss Yun, although bullied, knew that outside of their dwelling, kissing was her husbandâs limit, nothing more, so she was only happy without fear.
With Miss Yun in a good mood, the Heavenly Dao System was relieved.
Therefore.
Xu Changâan merely gave the girl a kiss, and it unexpectedly turned into a win-win-win situation.
ââ
Yun Qian leaned against Xu Changâanâs chest, idly rubbing his fingers.
And Xu Changâan, in order to keep Yun Qian from feeling sleepy, wrapped his arms around her waist, the two of them whispering quietly to each other.
Initially, Xu Changâan wanted to discuss with Yun Qian the etiquette once they met Zhu Pingniang, but after thinking it over, he decided against it, feeling it wasnât his place to remind her.
Yun Qian would need Zhu Pingniangâs help to enter Muyu Peak in the future, and her nature couldnât possibly be hidden from Senior Zhu.
Itâs better to keep things natural.
"Besides, Miss, you and the teacher call each other sisters, and according to Muyu Peakâs unique generation hierarchy..." Xu Changâan helplessly said, "You and Senior Zhu are the same generation, and I become the junior."
Junior?
Hearing this, Yun Qian couldnât help but frown. She fiddled with Xu Changâanâs fingers, her expression serious: "I said, you must not call me Mother."
Upon hearing this, Xu Changâan tightened his grip around Yun Qianâs waist slightly, appearing exasperated: "Youâre taking advantage of me here, why are you so obsessed with the idea of Mother?"
Anyway, he didnât understand why Miss Yun was so fixated on this matter.
"Think about what I just did." Xu Changâan looked at Yun Qianâs lips, smiling.
"Think?" Yun Qian thought about it, slightly frowned, and nudged Xu Changâan: "I was out of breath just now."
"Didnât like it?" Xu Changâan asked back.
"Itâs not that I didnât like it, just... never mind, as long as youâre happy." Yun Qian shook her head, she just felt it was too exhausting, and if every time they shared intimacy was like this, then her fifteen minutes of affection would shrink.
After all, for an ordinary girl, not being able to breathe for half a while was tiring.
But still, as she said, as long as he was happy, it didnât matter.
"Ah, almost got lost in your words." Xu Changâan clicked his tongue, then tightened his hold on Yun Qianâs slender waist and seriously said, "You always concern yourself with the matter of Mother, but whatâs there to be afraid of? Iâve done such things to you, Miss, whereâs there a Mother?"
"Does it matter?" Yun Qian thought about it, feeling it was completely irrelevant.
Because even if it were true that she raised him, if he did call her Mother, it would still be possible to do similar things.
Yun Qian closed her eyes, feeling Xu Changâanâs breath, thinking her husband can be quite oblivious at times.
Why doesnât he think, if it hadnât happened, why would she care so much?
Xu Changâan: "..."
After a long time, he sighed and admitted, "Trying to understand your thoughts, Miss, is beyond my capability."
"...Mm." Yun Qian responded, then leaned against Xu Changâan, feeling the steady motion of the carriage, wanting to yawn.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Xu Changâan staring at her lips, so she covered her face and stifled the yawn.
"Iâm not sleepy anymore." Yun Qian turned her head away.
If it happened again, she wouldnât attend the banquet tonight.
"..." Xu Changâanâs eyelid twitched, uncertain if Miss Yun was scared or if it was just her nature to speak her mind as it came.
In any case, being suddenly feared by Miss Yun because of intimacy, Xu Changâan felt bewildered.
"Miss, youâre the one devising ways for intimacy, and the one avoiding it too."
"Iâm currently... not in the right mood." Yun Qian blinked: "Besides, weâre in a carriage."
"Carriage..." Xu Changâan lifted the curtain, looking at the hazy Beisang City in the rain, "This Beisang City sure is vast, going to a banquet has already taken nearly half an hour, and I donât even know... which street weâre on now."
"I donât really know." Yun Qian replied.
Xu Changâanâs eyelid twitched: "Of course you donât know, having lived in this Beisang City for so long, you havenât left your street."
"I donât like going out." Yun Qianâs tone was calm: "Besides, living alone, going out less makes you feel at ease."
"Hmm..."
Miss Yunâs words seemed like a sugar-coated sword, piercing right through his heart.
