“Then, let it be,” Helian Wei Wei spoke in an unvarying and slow tone, “I’ve always hated to fight with others.

Baili Jia Jue stared at Helian Wei Wei before the grin on his face gradually disappeared. All of a sudden, his eyes burned with intense blasphemy as he grabbed Helian Wei Wei by her chin. He gently touched Helian Wei Wei’s pale lips with his thumb and said, “Are you speaking your honest thoughts now?”

Shocked by Baili Jia Jue’s action, Helian Wei Wei gulped.

Baili Jia Jue chuckled nonchalantly before he gently caressed Helian Wei Wei’s thin lips. Then, he held her hands and said, “Don’t ever think about giving your place up.”

Once again, Helian Wei Wei was reminded about how strong Baili Jia Jue’s grip was. She felt as though her hands were cuffed and she was struggling to break free.

Baili Jia Jue asked, “Have you forgotten the things I’ve warned you about?”

Helian Wei Wei paused her action, “What?”

Baili Jia Jun grinned. Despite the rather beautiful smile, his eyes were carrying a hint of annoyance. He replied, “I’ll cut off your hands if you ever lie to me.”

“There’s nothing you can do even if I’m not speaking my honest thoughts,” Helian Wei Wei blurted out the truth instinctively, “Eventually, you’ll marry many consorts and concubines.” This was when she realized that she should not have said that.

Within a fraction of a second, her neck and cheeks were flushed red. Even her eyes had turned red.

After she recomposed herself, she wanted to leave the scene immediately, not wanting to see the man’s possibly satisfied expression at all.

However, Baili Jia Jue was a step ahead. He pulled her toward him, lifted her chin and planted a kiss on her lips.

“That’s… too much.”

Noticing how embarra.s.sed Helian Wei Wei was, Baili Jia Jue tasted Helian Wei Wei’s soft tongue for the last time before he removed his lips from hers. Then, he kissed the corner of her red eyes as though he was trying to comfort her. He caringly caressed her smooth palms as he slowly waited for Helian Wei Wei’s breath to steady.

Helian Wei Wei felt a chill down her spine and could feel a tingling sensation all over her body. She felt somewhat ashamed by the fact that she was enjoying this moment.

Baili Jia Jue put on a devilish grin as he placed his forehead against hers. He stared at her with his deep eyes and asked, “So, do you want to tell me your true feelings now?”

Little Seven walked toward them, carrying a fis.h.i.+ng rod on his back. He raised his head and stared right at the two of them. Then, his gaze landed on Helian Wei Wei and asked, “Third Aunt, what happened to your cheeks? Why are they so red?”

“It’s because of the hot weather,” Helian Wei Wei answered ambiguously while she furrowed her brows. Do I have to speak the truth now?

Baili Jia Jue knew that he should not be too controlling over Helian Wei Wei. He released his grip on her and threw a glance at his innocent and naive younger brother before he ordered his brother in an indifferent tone, “Look after your Third Aunt. Don’t let her loiter around.”

“Sure!” Little Seventh Prince was always confident that no one was more competent than him in completing the tasks.

However, Helian Wei Wei paid little attention to the conversation between the boys. She stared at Baili Jia Jue as he disappeared into the distance before she found herself a shaded place on the field and lay on the lawn. She chewed on the gra.s.s as she mulled over some philosophical questions.

Little Seventh Prince deemed himself as a responsible man. He did not trust his Third Aunt enough to leave her alone. Hence, he decided to give up his mealtime to stay with her and began to run around her with his fat and short legs.

Helian Wei Wei was puzzled about her relations.h.i.+p with Baili Jia Jue, not knowing how they had come to this state…

Initially, their plan was to help each other.

But, had their plan not gone a little too far?

Before this, all their kisses were done purposefully.

But, today…

Thinking about this, Helian Wei Wei unknowingly covered her mouth with her hand as her ears turned pink.

She could clearly feel the overwhelming affection when Baili Jia Jue’s lips touched hers.

At this moment, Helian Wei Wei’s heart was pounding so vigorously. As a result, her chest felt sore and numb.

It was as though a door was opened to her. She began to see many scenes and details that she had before overlooked. She vividly recalled how he half-jokingly tricked her to sign the agreement while he stared at her with his eyes full of pa.s.sion.

But, how do I feel about him?

Helian Wei Wei had never been involved in a romantic relations.h.i.+p in her past life.
