Xiahou Xiu Yun spoke while looking towards the small courtyard in the distance.
The butler didn’t understand what the Madam was saying, but followed her gaze and saw the Young Madam quietly walking towards the Young Master, who was taking a nap.
It was around ten in the morning, with the sunshine just right.
The flowers and plants in the courtyard were meticulously trimmed, and although the stone path was somewhat uncomfortable to walk on, it was quite fun.
Ran Xiangsi deliberately made no noise as she walked to Xing Chen’s rattan chair.
Seeing that he still had his eyes closed, as if he hadn’t noticed her at all, Ran Xiangsi squatted beside him and leaned in to observe him.
"Why is your skin so good..."
Unable to resist, Xiangsi murmured softly.
In the sunlight, she realized not only was he stunningly handsome, but even his skin was perfect.
"Your eyelashes are so long, your nose is so high. Why don’t you become an actor? If you entered the entertainment industry, you’d definitely be a movie star! Handsome and talented!"
"Your lips are so sexy, but I’ve heard that people with thin lips have a cold personality. Are you like that too?"
"I wonder if what I heard last night was something you said, or if I was dreaming?"
"Do you want me to fall in love with you? Dream on. What if I love you and you don’t love me? Wouldn’t I be at a loss?"
Ran Xiangsi continued talking to herself for a while, but Xing Chen didn’t wake up.
Could he really be asleep?
Her gaze lingered on his handsome face, and as she continued to look, a thought crossed her mind.
"To be honest, I already forgot what it felt like when I kissed you last night. Hmm, you owe me one, right?"
With that, Xiangsi leaned closer to Xing Chen and boldly pressed her lips to his.
A kiss landed on his left cheek.
A kiss is an impulse and admiration that comes from the heart.
Pure and sincere, it caused two hearts to plunge into a deep lake, struggling in vain and sinking into illusion.
Ran Xiangsi, like a cat that had caught a canary, quickly pulled away after succeeding, afraid of being seen.
She... didn’t know what had come over her.
It was just that he looked so peaceful, so handsome while sleeping...
Just as she was about to pull away, a gentle grasp touched her hand. Startled, Ran Xiangsi looked down and saw Xing Chen’s large hand holding hers...
Her fair face turned red, and Ran Xiangsi coughed lightly. Helplessly, she looked up and met Xing Chen’s dark eyes, which seemed to draw in her very soul!
Awkwardly, she averted her gaze and hurriedly said, "You, you’re awake. Good morning..."
Xing Chen had never actually fallen asleep.
There were no important appointments at the company today, and since his mother was home in the morning, he decided to stay for lunch.
The morning sunlight was pleasant, so he soaked it in for a while, finished reading his documents, and then closed his eyes to think.
Soon after, he heard footsteps behind him.
At first, he thought it was a servant bringing snacks, but then he sensed the deliberate caution.
When he heard Ran Xiangsi’s voice, he knew it was her.
He hadn’t opened his eyes because he wanted to hear what she would say while he was "asleep."
So he pretended to nap.
Who would have thought she’d steal a kiss from him? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoᴠᴇFɪre.nᴇt
This time, he caught her red-handed in the act.
