After dealing with Tina Li's matter, they left Maple Leaf Mansion.
Assistant Chen very consciously found an excuse and left.
Assistant Chen's thoughts: The boss is pursuing a girl for the first time; we need to be perceptive and not continue to be a third wheel.
Xia Liuyue knew how to drive.
She had just sat in the driver's seat, her hands on the steering wheel, and could feel the gaze from the passenger seat.
Even though Yan Hechuan was blind and couldn't see anything.
But his intuition seemed remarkably accurate; his misty eyes could always find her trace in an instant.
"Yueyue." Yan Hechuan sat upright, tilting his head slightly.
Xia Liuyue glanced at him from the corner of her eye and smiled. "What? So touched you want to offer yourself in marriage?"
"Is that allowed?" Yan Hechuan showed an expression that said, 'Such a good thing could actually happen?'
Xia Liuyue burst out laughing.
She raised her hand, and as if he could sense her movement, he proactively leaned his head forward to nudge against it.
He looked like a puppy saying, 'Pet me, hurry up and pet me.'
Her slender, delicate fingertips finally rested on his forehead, giving it a light tap.
"I'm very hard to chase."
Yan Hechuan actually leaned his head forward a bit more and said, "Then can you teach me how?" After a pause, he added seriously,
"I've never chased a girl before."
"As long as you teach me, Yueyue, I will study hard."
The car started and pulled into traffic. Xia Liuyue steered through the flow of vehicles, turning the wheel as she spoke.
"I won't teach you."
Hearing this, Yan Hechuan wasn't discouraged, merely asking, "Then where are we going?"
Xia Liuyue raised her slender willow-leaf eyebrows, joking,
"To sell you. Look, you're a blind CEO; you could fetch a lot of money."
Yan Hechuan played along, nodding.
"Alright, sell me. Give all the money to Yueyue."
"Then I'll sneak back out. Yueyue can sell me again for even more money."
Watching him talk nonsense with a straight face, the corners of Xia Liuyue's mouth couldn't help but curve upward.
She hadn't noticed before; this old-fashioned man actually had quite a sense of humor.
After a few traffic lights, the car finally arrived at Golden Junwan Hillside Villa, Yan Hechuan's home.
After getting out of the car, he seemed to sense where they were.
He tapped the front gate with his white cane, reluctant to go in.
"What's wrong?" Xia Liuyue gently patted his shoulder.
Yan Hechuan, who had been moving slowly just moments before, now reacted quickly, grasping her hand.
Relying on intuition, he pulled her into the villa and, before she could react, swiftly closed the main door behind them.
"You, what are you doing?"
"Yueyue, don't go, okay?"
The villa was somewhat dark, with only faint light coming through the windows. Yan Hechuan's expression was hidden in the shadows.
But his pair of misty eyes were filled with pitifulness.
Anyone who saw it would soften.
Xia Liuyue deliberately felt like teasing him. Just as she was about to say she was leaving, she turned and was abruptly pulled into a tight embrace by a strong arm.
Before she could speak.
Yan Hechuan's left hand cradled the back of her head, his other arm wrapped around her waist, and a domineering, forceful kiss descended.
Compared to his previous clumsiness, this kiss carried a scorching aggressiveness.
"Mmm."
Xia Liuyue blinked in surprise. Wasn't he supposed to be old-fashioned? How did he suddenly become so skilled?
Lips and teeth met, exchanging breaths.
Her mind was in a jumble, unable to think of anything else.
Even though Yan Hechuan couldn't see, he had long memorized the villa's entire layout. Kissing her, he guided Xia Liuyue towards the sofa.
They embraced, kissed.
Their steps interwove as they moved forward, turning.
Finally, they fell onto the soft beige sofa, her long black hair and his short hair intertwining.
In a daze, Xia Liuyue remembered how she had initially pounced on the old-fashioned, aloof-looking Yan Hechuan on this very sofa. She never imagined the situation would reverse, and she would be deceived by this secretly cunning man.
She didn't know how they ended up on the sofa just from kissing.
At first, their kissing was just kissing, but gradually the temperature rose.
Xia Liuyue never suppressed her emotions; when the feeling was right in the moment,
She acted on it.
After all, she had originally intended to have her way with Yan Hechuan anyway.
She removed her outer garment, sensing Yan Hechuan's arm around her waist pause slightly as the touch under his hand changed to the smoothness of bare skin.
But he couldn't see anything.
Xia Liuyue began to undo his tie and remove his jacket.
Yan Hechuan finally released her from the scorching kiss long enough to utter a sentence.
"We can't."
"What?" Xia Liuyue raised an eyebrow, displeased. The mood had been built up to this point, and he says 'can't'?
Like a bandit king forcibly taking a maiden, she covered his lips with her hand, leaned down, and whispered in a low voice,
"Men can't say 'can't'."
With that, her small hands removed his jacket and tie.
Yan Hechuan's body stiffened slightly, somewhat uncomfortable, and he added, "Yueyue, the sofa is cold."
A soft laugh escaped Xia Liuyue's throat.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Then, to the bedroom?"
Unsurprisingly, she saw Yan Hechuan's ears instantly turn red, the blush spreading to his neck. His long eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Mmm."
"But I can't see, Yueyue. Hold my hand."
The one who had suddenly initiated the aggressive attack earlier, Yan Hechuan now seemed like a delicate, shy bride.
Guided by Xia Liuyue towards the bedroom, he even said as they walked,
"I'm sorry, Yueyue. I shouldn't have kissed you without asking just now."
"I just didn't want you to leave, so I thought... to keep you here."
Xia Liuyue teased him again, "Oh! So your method of keeping someone is kissing?"
Yan Hechuan immediately shook his head, agitated.
"That's not it at all. There's no one else."
"Only Yueyue."
As they talked, they reached the bedroom. The corners of Xia Liuyue's mouth curled playfully as she smiled and said, "To the bathroom, okay?"
She wanted to see what decision the old-fashioned, aloof man would make.
Yan Hechuan nodded in less than a second.
Drops of water pattered down in the shower.
Just last time, Yan Hechuan had acted like he was guarding against a thief, hiding inside alone to shower, even willing to freeze for a few minutes without a towel.
But now, his expression seemed somewhat eager.
The gray shirt came off.
Xia Liuyue saw a dazzling expanse of abdominal muscles, with distinct ridges and valleys, the lines of muscle clearly defined.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist—clearly someone who worked out regularly.
Yan Hechuan, who had been shy just moments before, as the steam gradually rose in the shower and he remained unable to see, found all his senses amplified in the darkness.
He actually proactively took Xia Liuyue's hand and placed it on his abs.
Whispering softly,
"Only for Yueyue to see."
Xia Liuyue curved the corner of her mouth, deliberately teasing him.
"But 'Tang Yinyao' saw them last time too."
Yan Hechuan pressed his lips together, answering seriously, "That time was also Yueyue. It was only ever Yueyue."
