Chapter 227: Afraid They'll Discover What We Just Did?

Chapter 227: Chapter 224: Afraid They’ll Discover What We Just Did?

Bai Zhi listened to Hu Yan’s words, pressing her lips together, her heart heavy. She understood that his feelings were entirely because she had too many Beast Husbands.

If he weren’t her Beast Husband, with his status as an SSS-level powerhouse, countless females would vie to be his mate, yet all she could give him was the title of “First Beast Husband.”

And it wasn’t just Hu Yan; the others were the same. In terms of looks or background, they were all men who would make countless females swoon wherever they went.

Back when she had first arrived, she might have been able to tell him to leave without hesitation.

But after spending all this time together, there was no doubt she had feelings for Hu Yan.

Now, she couldn’t bring herself to say such a thing. She didn’t know how to solve this, because any solution seemed unfair to the others.

But not solving it wasn’t an option, either.

Bai Zhi thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a single idea.

Her mind was a mess, and she desperately needed to calm down and think.

However, before Bai Zhi could think of a solution, a large hand suddenly ruffled her hair, and Hu Yan’s gentle voice sounded from above her. “Don’t overthink it. While these feelings are about you, I didn’t bring them up because I want you to do something. In fact, you’re already doing a great job. You’ve been trying your best to take care of everyone, whether it’s me or the others.”

“I used to not understand why they would get so jealous and competitive, but now I get it. It’s because everyone wants a bigger share of your affection, so they’ll use all sorts of tricks.”

“Liking is about possession, but love is about acceptance. Because I love you, I’m willing to accept their existence. But starting today, don’t be too surprised by some of my actions. Even though I’m willing to accept them, who wouldn’t want your gaze to linger on them a little longer? So, for that, I might do some things that are different from my usual self. I hope you’ll bear with me then.”

Hu Yan’s voice was gentle yet firm. He was always like this, accepting of everything.

Even now, after seeing her dilemma, he was using this way to comfort and accommodate her.

*Sniffle*~

‘Hu Yan, how can you be so good to me! He could have totally thrown a tantrum and made me coax him, or taken the chance to make a bunch of demands, which I definitely would have met at a time like this. But he didn’t. Instead, he patiently comforted me. Even when he was upset, he just told me he would do things differently to get my attention. He never once thought about giving up on our relationship; instead, he chose to fight for it. How could I ever bear to give up on a Hu Yan who is so gentle yet so resolute!! My heart aches for him, it hurts so much, but I’m also so happy.’

Bai Zhi couldn’t hold back anymore and threw herself into Hu Yan’s arms. “SOB SOB SOB… Hu Yan… How can you be so good to me! You can get mad, you can say it out loud like Yue Junxiao does! You can make demands of me, and I’ll do my best to fulfill them.”

Hu Yan wrapped his arms around her and chuckled softly. “See? Doesn’t your heart ache for me now? Aren’t you secretly resolving to be even better to me? Even though I didn’t make any demands, this made your heart ache more than if I had. I originally didn’t want you to notice I was feeling this way, but I’m very happy you did. It means you’re paying attention to me too, and that’s enough.”

Bai Zhi just hugged him tighter. In the end, feeling that even this wasn’t enough to express how her heart ached for him, she wrapped her arms around his neck, launched herself upward, and swiftly locked her legs around his waist, pressing her lips to his at the same time.

Hu Yan reacted instantly, his hands subconsciously catching her the moment she jumped.

Faced with the willing gift of her lips, Hu Yan didn’t hesitate for a moment, ravishing them fiercely, attacking and possessing, conquering her mouth until not a single gap remained.

As they kissed, Hu Yan, wanting a better angle of attack, lifted her and pressed her against the wall.

Bai Zhi’s back hit the wall gently, making her let out a muffled grunt, but she quickly lost the capacity to think about anything else.

To prevent any interruptions, Hu Yan even used Transformation with his spiritual power to surround them.

Then, as they continued to kiss, Hu Yan entered Bai Zhi’s spirit sea. He might not make demands, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t collect interest.

“Ngh…”

Things were heating up in the spirit sea, causing Bai Zhi to let out an involuntary moan.

When Yue Junxiao and the others returned from their roughhousing, they noticed that Bai Zhi and Hu Yan, who had been following behind, were gone. Yan Yichen asked in confusion, “Where are Bai Zhi and Hu Yan? Weren’t they just at the entrance? How did they suddenly disappear?”

Yue Junxiao looked just as puzzled. “Right? I was wondering the same thing. There’s only one path from the main gate. We were in front and didn’t see them go in. They couldn’t have flown in from the sky, could they?”

At that very moment, only a few meters away, Bai Zhi and Hu Yan were completely encircled by Hu Yan’s spiritual power, making them practically invisible. Hearing their voices, Bai Zhi couldn’t help but tense up.

An indescribable expression flickered across Hu Yan’s handsome face as he whispered, “Ngh… be gentle.”

Meanwhile, Yue Junxiao and the others were still talking, completely oblivious to what was happening just a few meters away from them.

The two of them looked around but couldn’t find anyone, so they went inside.

Only after they went inside did Bai Zhi’s tense body finally relax. However, the moment she did, she was met with an intense climax.

Not long after, Hu Yan withdrew from Bai Zhi’s spirit sea, retracted his spiritual power, and carried her inside as if nothing had happened.

As soon as they entered the living room, they were met with the gazes of Sang Mo, Yue Junxiao, and Yan Yichen.

Seeing Hu Yan carrying Bai Zhi, Yue Junxiao asked in confusion, “Huh? Why are you guys coming in from outside? We just looked all over for you and couldn’t find you.”

In contrast, Sang Mo, who had been lounging on the soft couch, let out a cold scoff after his gaze swept over the two of them, apparently having guessed what had happened.

Hearing that cold scoff, Bai Zhi knew Sang Mo had definitely figured out what they had just been doing. A faint blush crept up her cheeks.

Even after all this time, she still couldn’t get used to being caught.

Hu Yan was unfazed by Sang Mo’s discovery, simply replying to Yue Junxiao’s question in a placid tone, “Outside.”

Hearing this, Yue Junxiao didn’t think much of it and nodded. “Oh, then we probably just missed you.”

Hu Yan just grunted in acknowledgment and then carried Bai Zhi upstairs. “We’re going up to rest. Don’t we have to go to Fierce Tiger City tomorrow? We should all get some rest.”

After going upstairs, Bai Zhi peeked her head out to look down below, letting out a breath of relief.

Hu Yan looked down at her and said with a teasing smile, “So nervous? Afraid they’d find out what we were just doing?”

Bai Zhi playfully slapped him a couple of times and shot him a mock glare. “It’s all your fault.”

Hu Yan didn’t argue and just accepted the blame. “Yes, yes, you’re right. I was too eager.”

At that, Bai Zhi felt embarrassed. After all, she was the one who had kissed him first.
