CHAPTER 884: CHAPTER 884: YOU CAN’T ESCAPE FROM THE PALM OF MY HAND

In an instant, Yao Xingtong’s mind went blank.

Oh my God! I... I was unexpectedly kissed by this guy!?

Yao Xingtong’s eyes widened, maintaining a shocked expression, as if she hadn’t yet come to grips with the sudden development.

Yao Xingtong’s lips were very soft and smooth, giving Ye Xuan a first impression like kissing a piece of tofu—extremely comfortable! There was even a pleasant fragrance, reminiscent of the scent of lily petals.

But Ye Xuan knew that this wasn’t the taste of any lipstick because Yao Xingtong hadn’t put on any today. This was the natural fragrance of her lips—an inherent scent of womanhood!

While Ye Xuan was intoxicated, Yao Xingtong was suffering greatly, experiencing an intense conflict within her heart!

She had never been kissed by a man before, let alone on the mouth. Her instinct reacted in rejection, further magnified by Ye Xuan kissing her without consent, sparking a bit of disgust.

Yet, she couldn’t resist Ye Xuan, merely enduring the torment in silence while suffering internally...

However, this wasn’t the worst part. Next came the thing that would push Yao Xingtong to the brink. Ye Xuan seemed unsatisfied with just a kiss and began to use his hands!

Ahhhhh... I’m going crazy! Yao Xingtong screamed inwardly, her pretty face flushed with shame and anger. God, please come out and stop this, send down a lightning bolt to strike this bastard!

She could do nothing but pray from within for it all to end soon! Otherwise, she’d truly go insane!

Unfortunately, her prayers didn’t seem to work, and the nightmare continued.

Gradually, Yao Xingtong’s mindset began to change!

From the initial strong rejection and disgust, accompanied by some anger, to now, the anger had diminished greatly. The rejection and disgust, while still there, had become trivial. She began to learn to enjoy, accept the reality before her, and even respond actively.

It wasn’t until more than ten minutes passed that Ye Xuan ended this ’nightmare,’ releasing Yao Xingtong’s delicate body.

At this moment, Yao Xingtong’s hair was in disarray, and her face was flushed red, like a ripe peach that would drip with juice when lightly squeezed!

She looked extremely alluring, with less of a goddess-like holy aura, and a touch of gentle charm, all the more captivating.

"Ye Xuan, how could you do this? I treated you as a friend, but you had ill intentions toward me. It makes me so disappointed!"

Yao Xingtong bit her rosy lip, her beautiful eyes carried a hint of disappointment as she looked at Ye Xuan, and her heart was a jumble of emotions.

Disappointment? Anger? Sadness? Or... disbelief! Did she feel her friendship was betrayed? She couldn’t say for sure; her mood was incredibly complicated!

"What did I do? Honestly, I’ve been interacting with you for some time now, and you only now realize what kind of person I am?"

Ye Xuan licked his lips, a sly curve to his mouth as he admitted, " Originally, you asked me out alone, which in itself is a very dangerous thing! If earlier you had called Liu Ying along, you could have escaped trouble. But you didn’t recognize my true character! And you came to provoke me, what could I do?"

"Since you took the initiative to deliver yourself, a little bunny, to me, a hungry wolf, how could I not indulge? So really, you can only blame yourself for being too naive, having no guard against me, and falling into my clutches!"

Yao Xingtong didn’t expect Ye Xuan to be so shameless, clearly having violated her yet shifting the responsibility onto her. It was utterly disgraceful!

Her gaze turned cold, she took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Ye Xuan, given you’ve helped me record new songs and resolved my doubts, I can forgive you this time! But if there’s a next time, we don’t need to be friends anymore."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled lazily, "Xingtong, I think you might not quite understand me! Once I’ve set my mind on something, I never change it, and will see it through to the end. So when I say I’m interested in you, it means I won’t let you go easily; I will certainly make you my woman until this task is completed!"

Ye Xuan’s words were filled with dominance, as though with his one sentence, Yao Xingtong’s ultimate fate was sealed to be his woman!

This made Yao Xingtong angry beyond measure!

Is this man too confident!?

A trace of anger climbed up her cheeks as she glared at Ye Xuan and questioned, "Ye Xuan, are you really trying to fall out with me?"

"This isn’t falling out; I’m merely stating a fact. You can acknowledge it, or not, but you won’t escape my grasp!" Ye Xuan smiled calmly.

"Ye Xuan, you better give up this notion!"

Yao Xingtong said angrily, "I am telling you clearly, I will not become your woman! Even if I never marry in this lifetime, I won’t let you harm me, because you’re too fickle, not suitable for me at all."

"If we respect each other, we can continue to be friends, but please don’t hold any improper thoughts about me! Otherwise, we’ll cut all ties! I don’t want that to happen."

Ye Xuan fell silent as if deep in thought.

Witnessing this scene, Yao Xingtong secretly breathed a sigh of relief; had Ye Xuan insisted, she wouldn’t know what to do!

Suddenly raising his head, Ye Xuan looked seriously at her before a confident smile crept onto his lips: "Actually, I dare to bet that you’ll definitely become my woman!"

"Because, all the prey I have set my sights on, none have successfully escaped, and you... won’t be an exception!"

Finishing, Ye Xuan chuckled and stood directly from the stone pavilion, leaping over the railings, hands in pockets, as he turned and walked down the bluestone steps towards the mountain’s base.

With his back to Yao Xingtong, he waved his hand as his voice mingled with the wind and echoed from afar: "I’ll go first, come down the mountain yourself later!"

Yao Xingtong had a complex gaze as she watched Ye Xuan’s fading back, sighing inwardly:

"Ye Xuan, though you are excellent, you are ultimately not suited for me..."

...

Though a minor episode occurred during the process, both Ye Xuan and Yao Xingtong didn’t mention anything about what happened at the mountaintop after they descended, as if nothing had happened.

After lunch, Ye Xuan and Lu Miaochan didn’t linger and bade farewell to Yao Xingtong, driving away from Xingzhu Residence.

Liu Ying also left, but this time she didn’t join Ye Xuan, as she needed to sign a contract with Jia Dafu later to formally acquire the jewelry company!

As for Ye Xuan and company, they followed Lu Miaochan’s suggestion, diverting their route to the city center, heading straight for Chaotian Gate Square.

It was Lu Miaochan’s first time visiting Shangjing and she hadn’t had the chance to properly enjoy it yet, and as the landmark attraction of Shangjing, also famed throughout history in Yan Country, the Chaotian Gate Tower was naturally her top target!
