They walked side by side under the light of the night sky. The light elongated their shadows.

“You are not allowed to go around seducing women in the future, do you understand?” Qin Pan turned her head and said angrily, “You are my future husband. You are not allowed to get close to other women. You have to abide by the morals of men, understand?”

“Morals of men?” Xi Ce repeated, looking amused at the woman beside him. “Why should I?”

“Just because you are my boyfriend, you have to do this. In the future, when you go to such events, you have to tell me. If I smell a woman’s perfume on you, you will be dead,” Qin Pan said.

Xi Ce looked over and only saw seriousness in Qin Pan’s eyes. There were no other emotions.

Why so serious?

“How do I die?” Xi Ce suddenly laughed and said, “Dying under a peony flower? I have no objections.”

Rogue. Qin Pan glared at him with hatred. When Xi Ce saw this, his smile widened.

Qin Pan rarely saw Xi Ce smile, so she couldn’t help but ask the question she had been wanting to ask him, “Are you also curious about that question?”

She knew that when Young Master Zhang asked that question, she saw curiosity in his eyes. He probably wanted to know too.

Xi Ce’s deep eyes stared at the woman in front of him, as if he wanted to see her heart.

Something about this woman’s behavior was truly suspicious. Xi Ce wanted to know what her purpose was, and why she had suddenly approached him.

If a person was too proactive, there must be a reason.

Xi Ce walked up dangerously and grabbed Qin Pan’s chin, making her look into his eyes. “Miss Qin, have you forgotten that you and Cheng Gang are fiancees? Aren’t you afraid that others will find out that you approached me so blatantly? If word gets out…”

“I’m not afraid.” Qin Pan looked up obediently with a serious look in her eyes. “I’ve said it before, it’s only a matter of time before I call that engagement off. I like you and it doesn’t matter if everyone knows about it. It’s best if everyone knows about it. That way, no one will seduce you and you will be mine.”

“Is that so?” Xi Ce’s eyes turned cold. “You’re really brave. Do you really think others will care about your identity and not do anything?”

“I’m afraid.” Qin Pan smiled. “But they wouldn’t dare to, because they don’t dare to offend you. It’s fine if they don’t care about my identity, but if the other party is you, they wouldn’t dare.”

She was right. No one would say anything tonight. They didn’t care about Qin Pan, but they cared about Xi Ce.

This weak and sickly man was very scary.

Qin Pan took the opportunity to approach Xi Ce and welcomed him. She placed her hands on Xi Ce’s shoulders. Their bodies were almost touching and even her breath brushed across Xi Ce’s face.

“Why me?” Xi Ce glanced at the woman’s bold gesture, his fingers grazing her chin a few times, his eyes darkening. “Give me a reason.”

Reason?

Was she supposed to tell Xi Ce that he had helped her take revenge in her previous life and had sacrificed too much for her? How could she say that?

Recalling what happened in her previous life, Qin Pan’s expression became gentler. She looked at Xi Ce even more gently. “I just like you. I want to seduce you and make you my boyfriend. Is this reason okay?”

“Is that so?” Xi Ce pursed his lips, a roguish smile on his face. “Then let me see how sincere you are.”

Before Qin Pan could react, Xi Ce reached out and grabbed her waist. He pinched her chin with his other hand and kissed her.

However, just as he was about to get closer, Qin Pan instinctively turned her head and avoided the kiss. Xi Ce’s lips only brushed past Qin Pan’s ear.

“Hehe.” Xi Ce did not seem angry. He simply smiled and let go.

The flustered Qin Pan calmed down. When she saw Xi Ce’s expression, she immediately understood that this man was testing her.

However, she couldn’t say anything because she had really avoided him just now. She could only grit her teeth and glare at him.

She really did not expect Xi Ce to be so guarded against her. He was still testing her at a time like this. She thought about it and decided to be more direct. She asked directly, “Just tell me directly, what would it take for you to marry me?”

Xi Ce calmly looked at the woman in front of him. She clearly didn’t like him, but she insisted on getting married.

Qin Pan didn’t get an answer in the end. Xi Ce looked away and left. She knew that there was no answer to this question..
