Yu Zhen examined her for a moment, his eyes resting on her swollen lips.

Li Xueyue's heart moved, and a sly smile appeared on her lips, as if she was very satisfied with what she saw. He was so handsome that it made people feel distressed. The sharp nose, the angular jawline, the sun-kissed skin, he was a sight she would never forget - especially his eyes, dark and cunning, constantly flashing with mischief. Through the clothes, she could feel the contours of his body, the ripples of his muscles.

His eyes hardened as he ran his thumb over her lips. "You shouldn't have seduced me," he said. "Otherwise I wouldn't have been so rough."

Li Xueyue watched him swallow, his prominent Adam's apple bobbing up and down. She didn't care about the warning sounding in her mind as she held his wrist with her fingers and kissed his thumb. His pupils dilated, and his chest rumbled as he let out a warning roar.

"Sunshine," he gritted his teeth. "No."

Li Xueyue blinked innocently and tilted her head. When he let out a low moan, she moved her legs slightly and bit her lower lip with satisfaction.

"Xueyue," he moaned, and this time, his voice was full of lust, "I won't hesitate."

"Hesitate about what?"

"I'll take you here now."

Her eyes widened as his other hand reached for the belt holding her hanfu. With a yank, her dress came loose and the collar widened, revealing him more than she'd expected. She took a shuddering breath as his hand moved upward, his touch teasing and relentless as his fingers neared her breast. She thought he would grab it, but he didn't.

Yu Zhen's smile widened when he saw her reaction. "So innocent, so naive, all mine..." he whispered. He could feel her cold skin warming under his fingertips. She shivered against him, her body trembling as he slid a finger from her collarbone to her chest.

"What am I supposed to do with you?" he teased, trailing his fingers downward. "Maybe I'll just be you."

Her cheeks immediately heated up as she realized how much more experienced he was than she was.

Li Xueyue lost the game at the beginning.

She wanted to seduce him, wanted to watch this calm man lose control. But she hadn't anticipated the consequences of her teasing. From the lustful gleam in his eyes, to the way his lips curled up when she gave in to him, he knew she was soft in his hands.

"I-"

"Shh..." He captured her lips again, gently, this time in a slow, sensual kiss that took her by surprise. Her legs trembled, but he supported her weight easily, holding her steady in place. He licked her bruised lips, pulling at her lower lip and biting it. She writhed under his wandering hands, gasping for air. He was greedy and shameless, and she was just as greedy.

"Yuzhen..." she pleaded, surprised by the sound of her own voice.

His eyes sharpened at her tone. His jaw ticked. Not now. God, he was going crazy at this damn teasing.

Yu Zhen had only kissed her once, but she had become his drug, intoxicating him in a way that he shouldn't have been.

Yu Zhen cursed the gods above. If he was allowed into heaven, he would beat the crap out of everyone who had put him in this situation.

Her expression was defenseless and defiant, her eyes soft and pleading. He could use her again and she would not protest. She was dangerous - a weapon, even. Her word would become his command. Now it was inevitable - he was entangled in her fingers.

If Li Xueyue continued to allow him, he knew that it wouldn't be long before she would officially belong to him.

When his fingers brushed her chest again, she knew he had lost control. She closed her eyes, not knowing what would happen next.

Suddenly, his fingers began to quickly adjust her dress, covering her completely. In fact, she now looked even more modest than before. He tightened her belt, forcing her dress in place.

"Be a good girl and turn around for me."

"W-what?" she asked, her cheeks heating up as he gave her a teasing smile. Her stomach flipped and her heart skipped a beat. His hands moved from her elbows to her shoulders, giving her his full attention.

Although he was smiling, his eyes were intense. He turned her around and pushed her forward until her chest was pressed against the wall.

Li Xueyue waited nervously. What would he do to her? He surprised her as his hands gently combed through her hair. She felt his movements pause and knew he must have seen it - his hairpin. She had picked this hairpin specially and it had become one of her favorites.

She was distracted and wanted to turn around to see his reaction. What thoughts were running through his mind? Was he happy? Was he proud? She didn't know.

Yu Zhen once again worked her hair effortlessly. He adjusted the tilted hairpins and the strands of hair that stuck out. He even braided her hair, designed different styles, and draped it over her shoulders.

"Thank you." Li Xueyue turned around and said. One of her hands touched the braid aimlessly, wondering where he learned it from. But she didn't want to think about this idea anymore. It would only make her more sad.

Yu Zhen pinched both of her cheeks. When she thought he was going to kiss her again, he didn't. Instead, he suddenly pounced and kissed her behind the ear, smiling back when she giggled.

"It's so itchy."

He tapped her button nose and shook his head, unable to wipe the smile off his face. "You're not wearing any of the accessories from the stalls," he pointed out, reaching out to take her hand.

He frowned when he felt something rough brush against his fingers.

Li Xueyue looked down with confusion in her eyes. In an instant, his expression changed to satisfaction. He raised his head sharply and suddenly began to kiss her face. When he put his arms around her and pressed her into his warm embrace, she let out a scream of joy and laughed. He shook their bodies and spun them around.

Li Xueyue’s face hurt from laughing so hard. She instantly looked up at him. Her heart swelled. He looked like the happiest person she’d ever seen. Considering he was usually all smiles around her, that was saying something.

"This is a promise ring." He said suddenly.

"Ah."

"I will give you the real stuff of the Cold Sword."

Her head shot up so sharply that he feared she would be whipped for it.

"What?" she asked, eyes wide with surprise.

Yu Zhen was amused by her reaction. "Don't sound so surprised." He brushed a hand across the side of her face and squeezed it gently.

"You are mine, Li Xueyue."

“Very possessive,” she said, shaking her head and biting her lower lip. “But why wasn’t I surprised?”

He simply smiled in response, leaning down to peck her gently on the lips. "I'm yours, too, sunshine."

Li Xueyue liked this idea very much.

They all did it.
