Oh~?

Has Xiao Lin and Shen Wan'er's relationship progress bar finally moved?

Are they officially a couple now?

Looks like Xiao Lin's side of the story is nearing its end.

In the library of the Gu Family Manor.

Gu Yan sat on a chair, receiving information transmitted by the Shadowkin.

To better understand the developments between Xiao Lin and Shen Wan'er, he had dispatched Shadowkin to monitor them in secret.

These were ancient Shadowkin given to him by the scales of the Nether Clan in the forbidden zone—a legacy of the ancient Nether King.

Each of them was at the grandmaster level, and thanks to their unique nature, they could conceal all traces of their presence.

Even Xiao Lin wouldn’t be able to detect anything unusual.

"What’s got you so happy?"

Leng Qingqiu picked up a book and sat beside Gu Yan.

"Thinking of you. My mind’s full of you."

Gu Yan wrapped an arm around Leng Qingqiu’s waist and answered without hesitation.

"Hmph, you and your smooth talk."

Leng Qingqiu snorted lightly, then hesitated before saying, "Is it really okay for us to leave the event like this?"

"Wouldn’t it be impolite?"

In Leng Qingqiu’s view, shouldn’t Gu Yan be mingling at the event, networking with more people?

"What’s wrong with it? The annual meeting’s dull anyway."

"We made an appearance—that’s enough to prove we were there."

"Besides, the Gu Family belongs to us. What can anyone even say?"

Gu Yan smirked. These kinds of gatherings were a hassle—people constantly trying to curry favor with you.

Having to respond to each one was just too much trouble.

Of course, the main reason was...

A faint smile crossed Gu Yan’s face as he buried it in Leng Qingqiu’s shoulder.

Since the library was climate-controlled and dry, the temperature was higher, so Leng Qingqiu had taken off her down jacket.

Sniff~ Sniff~

"Qingqiu~ My Qingqiu~~ I’d much rather be alone with you~~"

In private, Gu Yan couldn’t help but show his true colors.

Leng Qingqiu pushed his head away in exasperation. She was almost used to his perverted antics by now.

But they were still in public. Even though the library was usually empty, there was always the off chance someone might walk in.

"Stop fooling around. Save it for when we get home."

"Eh? Qingqiu, what are you thinking? I wasn’t planning anything bad—just wanted to take a deep whiff of your scent!"

Somehow, that made it even creepier.

"...Get lost."

"Okay."

Gu Yan obediently scooted away.

"Why are you moving so far?"

Seeing him keep his distance, Leng Qingqiu immediately scolded, "Get back here."

"Okay."

Gu Yan slid right back, placing a hand on Leng Qingqiu’s smooth shoulder. "Hehe, Qingqiu, look how obedient I am. Don’t I deserve a reward?"

Leng Qingqiu loved this kind of dynamic with Gu Yan.

Hearing his words, she couldn’t help but laugh. "Hmph, already asking for a reward?"

"But I’m in a good mood today. Fine, what do you want?"

"Lick your........"

"Hm?"

Leng Qingqiu’s brow twitched, her tone laced with warning.

Was this idiot about to say something perverted again?

"Ahem, Qingqiu, let me finish!"

Gu Yan coughed awkwardly before continuing, "I just really want to try something. I promise it’s just this once—if you don’t like it, I’ll never bring it up again."

"Try what?"

Leng Qingqiu eyed him suspiciously. She had a feeling Gu Yan’s idea of "trying something" was far from normal.

Gu Yan licked his lips and leaned in, whispering into her ear, "So, you do this... then I do that... and then..."

At first, Leng Qingqiu listened calmly—oh, an upgraded version of kissing.

So, a French kiss?

Wait, an upgraded French kiss?

This... what even is this?

Ugh... how could he suggest something like that?

Her face grew redder by the second. "Are you kidding me? Who would agree to such a perverted game?!"

Gu Yan clasped his hands together pleadingly. "Qingqiu, I beg you! This is my greatest wish in life!"

"If you grant me this, I can die without regrets!"

That’s... way too dramatic...

Listening to his desperate pleas, Leng Qingqiu clenched her fists, torn.

If she gave in now, there’d be no end to it.

Would he keep pushing for more and more outrageous requests?

No, stop overthinking, Leng Qingqiu.

Putting that aside, this could also be a way to enhance perception.

Right.

This was all for the sake of improving her senses, growing stronger, for the sake of... revenge.

"...Fine. Hurry up."

Leng Qingqiu took a deep breath, slowly turning to face Gu Yan with her arms crossed.

She tilted her chin up, exuding an air of arrogance.

Then, under Gu Yan’s eager gaze,

her expression twisted into one of utter disdain—brows furrowed, as if forced into this against her will—and she spoke in a cold, mocking tone:

"Tch, such a pathetic little minnow, making so many demands~~"

"Fine then, minnow, I’ll indulge you~~"

She parted her lips slightly, sticking out her tongue with a taunting smirk.

"Go on, take what you love most............ Mmmph!!"

Gu Yan instantly lost all self-control.
