Sheng Xia’s question was clearly intentional.

His excuses couldn’t even fool Jingxu. It seemed like everyone assumed they had done something last night, leading to her “illness” today.

Yet their progress seemed to lag far behind what they had imagined. Was it not quite appropriate?

But thinking of the way Miss Cheng Mi had looked at Feng Yan today, Sheng Xia’s eyes slightly narrowed, and she kicked him again with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Although this man was not a “white moonlight” in his heart, it seemed he had become the “white moonlight” of others when he was young.

Hmph, men.

However, faced with her unabashed provocation, Feng Yan only stiffened for a moment, then grasped her ankle, unintentionally applying more force.

But he quickly returned to normal. His dark gaze met her eyes, and he replied meaningfully, “I have answered this question for Mrs. Feng before.”

Under the dim light, his features were dark and handsome, the sharp contours of his face obscured by backlight and shadows, momentarily suggesting a dangerous aggressiveness.

Before Sheng Xia could react, he changed the subject, his voice devoid of emotion, “About this morning’s request, Xia Xia, you seem to have not given me a reply yet.”

“May I have the honor of asking Mrs. Feng to help me put on the ring?”

Something felt off, but looking at the man whose emotions were hard to read, Sheng Xia couldn’t find any flaws and could only snort disdainfully.

She didn’t expect that even after saying that, he could still endure it. He truly lived up to being a “white moonlight” hidden in someone else’s heart.

Was this new model of male virtue still planning to take it step by step and wait for a good opportunity after they returned home?

The system, which had been ready to smoothly roll into the little black room, stopped in its tracks at the sight, inexplicably feeling a bit of schadenfreude.

It turned out that even the host had such a day. It really underestimated Feng Yan.

Feeling the unabashed excitement in her mind, Sheng Xia’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she smiled softly, “So, seeing me at a loss, you seem quite happy?”

Unexpectedly caught by the system: 【…】

【Of course not, I am a companion with the host, so naturally, I am on your side.】 After careful consideration for a few seconds, it quickly replied, 【I am just silently condemning Feng Yan’s behavior towards you, which is really too much!】

Listening to this somewhat familiar rhetoric, Sheng Xia raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but chuckle, but she didn’t say anything.

The system was getting smarter and cuter.

Feeling a bit better, she faced the man’s sincere request and lazily sat up straight, calmly saying, “Mr. Feng, it seems you didn’t ask for my opinion last night before putting on the ring for me. Since my opinion doesn’t seem to matter, why don’t you just wear it yourself?”

“In fact, it was supposed to be a surprise.”

Feng Yan pondered for a few seconds, looking at her calmly, his voice deep, “The ring was almost ready, and Director Xu happened to contact me. Knowing that you would be performing on stage on the last day, I originally planned to come over these two days, appear at the theater, and then take you all home.”

“The ring was made early, so I came early too, but I didn’t expect the unexpected to happen.” He casually brushed over the previous plan, “I’m sorry, I didn’t deliberately wear it secretly, but—”

He deliberately paused, and when Sheng Xia leaned in unconsciously, he smiled slightly at her, his tone gentle and sincere, “Last night, watching you fall asleep on me, I suddenly had this impulse to put on this ring that I had prepared for a long time. Now, I want to wear it for you.”

“I was probably just following the voice in my heart, but occasionally going against reason, listening to the instinctual desire of the body, this feeling is not bad either.”

Top of Form

Sheng Xia was taken aback, subconsciously blinking her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

She wasn’t very shy, but at this moment, with his seemingly heated gaze and their current awkward position, she suddenly felt a kind of embarrassment as if being controlled and invaded.

Feng Yan was always deep and reserved, hiding all emotions and thoughts in his heart, showing no outward signs, making it impossible for anyone to know what he was thinking.

Therefore, his sudden confession, including his unusually calm expression now, made Sheng Xia feel a bit uneasy.

She opened her mouth, her eyes flickering, feeling inexplicably hot and restless around her.

Avoiding his gaze, Sheng Xia looked down at his well-defined knuckles. Despite being in a half-squat position, he was still dominant. So, he slowly caressed her ankle, as if implying something with a bit of urgency.

Her ears were slightly hot, but she quickly overcame her embarrassment. She cleared her throat and smiled, raising her chin, “Since Mr. Feng has said so, it seems I have no reason to refuse.”

Feng Yan’s deep and indistinguishable gaze fell on her slightly red cheeks, his eyes flickering slightly. This time, he didn’t say anything more, just smiled slightly, “Thank you for forgiving me, Mrs. Feng.”

Sheng Xia finally picked up the box placed on the bedside.

She didn’t know why Feng Yan was so insistent on exchanging rings, but she seemed to vaguely understand in her heart. So, although she had played with the ring this morning, it now seemed to have a wonderful meaning at this moment.

She lowered her eyes and gently pushed the ring onto his finger, pushing it to the base until he firmly grasped her hand.

This scene was like a silent and sacred ceremony, finally settling the dust. The matching rings on their fingers shone brightly under the lights.

Sheng Xia suddenly felt a subtle sensation in her heart.

But before she could ponder over it, her feet were suddenly placed down. Just as she raised her head, the man stood up silently, blocking the falling light.

Then, he bent down and picked her up, placing her on the bed.

The soft mattress sank under her, her long hair scattered on the pillow.

Sheng Xia caught him by the collar in surprise, but before she could react, the man covered her. He lay on top of her, the surroundings darkening, as if a deep shadow enveloped her.

At this moment, Feng Yan exuded a terrifying aggressiveness, and his unique aura directly descended with a strong oppressive force.

Sheng Xia could clearly see the burning gaze in his eyes, as if they were a scorching flame, roasting her whole body.
