An Xiaoyu was the picture of dejection as she climbed into the car, her lips pouting in response to Shen Yufeng's convicting line of questioning.
"Standing you up? My, such a big bird, could I even let it fly away?"
"Hmm, that's right, a bit of self-awareness there. Now, be a good girl!"
As Shen Yufeng spoke, he lifted his hand and gently searched through her hair, every gesture filled with tenderness.
An Xiaoyu resigned herself to her fate. At worst, she'd just drink a bit of water from the swimming pool! She couldn't possibly show weakness in front of Shen Yufeng!
With this thought, her fighting spirit instantly ignited.

The place where Shen Yufeng brought her... was a private villa halfway up the hill, with meticulously trimmed shrubs and charming tulip beds, winding corridors, and twining vines, creating a picturesque scene.
As evening approached, the skies were filled with a rosy light, weaving ribbons of dazzling colors, as if painted by a master artist.
