Chapter 46

The Duan family’s main residence was located on Lihe Road in Kyoto, unlike the ordinary villas and mansions.

The entire Chinese-style courtyard mansion was filled with pavilions, terraces, and towers, with an ancient and elegant charm, comparable to the most powerful royal palaces in ancient times.

A plaque with sharp and flowing characters of “Duan Garden” hung high on the blue brick and black tile roof with its carved beams and painted rafters. Before even stepping inside, the authentic top-notch Kyoto style instantly hit you.

Little Yuan respectfully opened the car door for them, “Mr. Duan, Mrs. Duan please.”

Duan Shiyan’s words had been too shocking.

Jinwu, whose face was still flushed and whose heart hadn’t completely calmed down, got out of the car in a daze.

The “culprit” behind her, lazily taking long strides, slowly walked over, just about to take her hand as usual, but suddenly remembered a certain agreement.

A man who has successfully ascended to power must know how to get benefits for himself.

Duan Shiyan’s lips curled up in a playful arc.

Hmm

Today’s kiss, it’s settled.

As Duan Shiyan walked over, that familiar wild scent enveloped her.

Jinwu’s eyelashes fluttered, her eyes unconsciously fell on his well-defined hands, her slightly dazed brain suddenly remembered something.

Right, holding hands!

Thinking that Duan Shiyan was just walking over, she figured he probably hadn’t noticed that the agreement hadn’t been fulfilled yet.

Just as Jinwu was holding onto a glimmer of hope, about to reach out her fingertips to his hand.

Suddenly, her shoulder was enveloped by a source of heat.

Before she could react.

The man beside her, with great strength, pulled her shoulder towards him with one hand, and she was suddenly pressed against his warm and strong chest in a close and intimate embrace.

Through the thin fabric, the temperature of his palm reached her skin, making her senses tingle.

Jinwu raised her eyes in surprise, her heart, which had already begun to calm down, beat again because of him, “How…?”

Duan Shiyan’s eyes curved slightly, he leaned closer with a leisurely air, his low magnetic voice openly teased, “Forgot to mention, those people have a keen eye, just holding hands isn’t intimate enough, it doesn’t look like a newly married couple who just got their marriage certificate.”

“It’s best to be like this.”

He tightened his arm around Jinwu’s shoulder, his lips curled up with a playful smirk, he whispered lazily in her ear, “Cuddling”

The man’s warm breath brushed against her earlobe again, recklessly setting it on fire.

Jinwu’s fingertips couldn’t help but curl up, the rising temperature on her cheeks made the mole under her eyes a little darker.

So this is the person in charge of two major companies?

He’s so thoughtful.

Jinwu nodded in agreement, “You’re right.”

Then, as if cooperating with her teammate.

She leaned her soft body closer to him, like a hedgehog who trusts completely, retracting her defensive spines and leaning against his chest.

Someone is getting closer.

Someone’s heart is about to explode from cuteness.

Duan Shiyan’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

It felt like a little dog was rolling around excitedly in his heart, shouting, “Wife is so cute! Wife is the cutest! Wife is the cutest in the universe!”

Because they were so close.

Through his suit, Jinwu could clearly feel Duan Shiyan’s intense and powerful heartbeat.

Strange.

Why is his heart beating so fast?

Just as Jinwu raised her eyes to ask, she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye.

She saw that the doorway, which had been empty just now, was now filled with a crowd of people.

Everyone was dressed formally and grandly, especially the old lady at the front, she even wore a chest badge awarded by the state, as if she was going to attend a state banquet.

The way they looked at her was like a very intense… burning desire.

Yu Sang, who was standing in the second row of the crowd, took a deep breath, “Damn! I haven’t seen you in a while, Angel Sister, you’ve become even more beautiful! Wuwuwu, I’m so annoyed, why don’t I have a little bird? I’m going to turn dark! I’m going to steal Duan Shiyan’s corner! I’m going to bend Angel Sister! I’m going to kiss her until she screams!”

Shen Que, next to him, was speechless, “You pervert, wipe the drool off your mouth, don’t scare your sister-in-law.”

The old lady at the front was leaning on a cane, her white hair was neatly combed, she looked like a dignified and aloof lady of the house.

But in her heart—

Hee hee hee ha ha ha ha hi hi hi

This is my dear granddaughter-in-law (turning into a happy idiot) ah ah ah my dear granddaughter-in-law looked over and made eye contact with me, you said my dear granddaughter-in-law can’t be so beautiful, she’s truly the happiest old lady in the world (pounding her chest and jumping on top of the mountain).

The gazes from the people in front of them were too intense.

Jinwu couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Is it starting?

Is it going to be like a dog-blood drama, where they pull out a stack of envelopes filled with money or checks, then launch a mocking group attack, telling her to leave Duan Shiyan?

Jinwu straightened her back, her eyes slowly becoming firm.

She promised to protect the Duan little princess beside her, she would do what she said.

It’s just that there are more people than she imagined, she… she’s not going to be intimidated!

Just as the little knight Foggy was getting ready to fight.

A noble figure suddenly rushed out of the crowd, suddenly hugging her tightly.

“Oh my, I can’t hold it anymore, come here, my darling, let Mommy hug you”

Before Jinwu could respond, her cheeks were gently pinched by Yu Jiu.

“Oh my oh my!”

Under the gazes of a bunch of people behind her, and a certain princess’ cold gaze, Yu Jiu’s eyes suddenly lit up, “This skin is so smooth! So bouncy! It’s like touching my husband’s butt (?ω?)!”

Jinwu: ?

Duan Shiyan: ?

Duan Qinghe: !

“Darling, your name is Jinwu, right?”

As if holding her own daughter’s hand, Yu Jiu smiled and curved her peach blossom eyes, similar to Duan Shiyan’s, and she fully utilized her social bandit attributes, “You know, your father’s butt is super bouncy and perky, just like Ayan’s.”

Jinwu: ?

As if under a spell, her eyes unconsciously glanced towards Duan Shiyan’s back.

Hmm…

It is indeed very perky.

“Oh my oh my!”

Yu Jiu finished touching her cheek and then smoothly touched Jinwu’s hand, her red lips curled up, she didn’t have any airs at all, “These little hands are so smooth too, like tender tofu!”

“Don’t touch my wife.”

Duan Shiyan frowned, possessively putting his arm around Jinwu’s shoulder and pulling her closer, his voice suppressed with displeasure, “This is my wife, if you want to touch her, only I can touch her.”

Humph, he hasn’t even properly touched his Foggy’s cheeks, and someone else has already touched them.

So angry???

His wife’s little hands suddenly disappeared, Yu Jiu’s cheeks puffed up, she wasn’t afraid of meeting his gaze at all, she snorted, “Duan Xiaojiao, is that how you talk to Mommy?”

Duan Xiaojiao?

Jinwu blinked, turning her head to look at Duan Shiyan in disbelief.

Is that his nickname?

His girly nickname was so casually exposed, and right in front of Jinwu.

Duan Shiyan’s frown deepened, “Don’t call me that stupid name, I don’t recognize it.”

What Xiaojiao (little darling) and Da jiao (big darling).

It’s damaging his mature and steady image in Jinwu’s eyes, okay!

Jinwu’s eyes lit up.

So that’s really his nickname.

She couldn’t help but curl her lips.

Who would have thought that the nickname of an arrogant and unruly prince from the Kyoto circle would be so cute?

“What’s wrong with this nickname?”

Jinwu raised her beautiful and bright eyes to look at him, her smile was charming, “I think it’s very cute.”

Looking at his sharp and handsome eyebrows, she thought of this nickname, her eyes couldn’t help but curve into a smile, her voice had a touch of affectionate sweetness, “Duan Xiaojiao.”

“!”

At that moment, the man who had been frowning just now, disliking this nickname, was suddenly stunned, then his ears tingled, and his heart skipped a beat.

Damn.

How come this girly nickname sounds so nice when she calls it?

It’s so nice that he wants to hear it a few more times.

Duan Shiyan’s Adam’s apple bobbed, under Jinwu’s smiling eyes, he turned his head unnaturally, his ears visibly turning red.

Everyone: Oh—someone is blushing.

“A nickname is a pet name given to a child by their parents, it also expresses their love for the child.”

Jinwu smiled, “I don’t have….”

“Who said you don’t have a nickname?”

As she was speaking, she heard Duan Shiyan’s protective tone from above, “They didn’t give you one, I’ll give you one.”

He looked down at her, his gaze burning with seriousness, as if he had put aside all his airs to coax her, his sexy, low, magnetic voice was alluring and seductive to her ears.

“Foggy Baby”

“Foggy Good Girl”

“Foggy Sweetheart”

“Little Foggy Treasure”

One affectionate nickname after another.

Jinwu’s earlobes suddenly felt warm.

She raised her eyelashes, her eyes met Duan Shiyan’s burning eyes, like a ray of sunshine reaching her heart.

Something in her chest, which had become hot, jumped heavily, causing ripples in the originally calm lake of her heart.

Jinwu’s fingertips curled slightly, she was about to respond when.

“Woof woof woof woof—”

Suddenly, a cheerful and familiar dog bark came from far to near.
