Su Qiuyu stared nakedly at Lin Yuan, her beautiful eyes brimming with tears. Finally, when Xia Zheng also looked over, she pouted her small mouth and large teardrops started falling down, making her already delicate frame seem even more fragile.

Lin Yuan was immediately covered in metaphorical black lines. In fact, she really hadn’t seen Su Qiuyu; she wasn’t intentionally showing off her affection in front of this "white lotus."

"Miss Su, you might have misunderstood..." After saying the word misunderstanding, Lin Yuan felt like slapping herself. What misunderstanding? Xia Zheng had just kissed her on the cheek; how could that be a misunderstanding?

Moreover, she and Xia Zheng were in mutual love; did she really have to explain a misunderstanding to a love rival?

"Wife!"

Lin Yuan hadn’t even realized that these sudden words were referring to herself when she felt her arm being grabbed by a strong, warm hand. Then, she felt her head spin, and her entire body leaned backward, falling right into Xia Zheng’s warm embrace.

As she was dizzily turning around, a pair of slightly cool lips covered hers, stifling the low cry she hadn’t yet voiced.

"Mmm."

What was happening? Why was this happening in front of everyone?

Well, actually, it wasn’t many people, just Su Qiuyu and her servant, plus the young men and women, chefs, and helpers in the Dontian Hall waiting for her to demonstrate her training results, that’s all.

Of course, that didn’t count people hidden somewhere across the street in the tea house, or next to the shops!

While Lin Yuan was still counting how many people had witnessed this Live Sex scene, Xia Zheng finally let her go, but only her mouth; he didn’t let go of her body.

With an unsatisfied lick of his lips, Xia Zheng gave Lin Yuan a somewhat resentful look, then loudly said to Su Qiuyu who was so shocked and jealous that she had even forgotten to cry, "There’s no misunderstanding here, only the truth!"

These simple ten words, clear and forceful, not only struck Su Qiuyu but also completely captivated Lin Yuan, who was used to seeing handsome men, by Xia Zheng’s domineering and charming manner.

Her eyes sparkling with hearts, Lin Yuan’s body couldn’t help but soften. So, that sudden kiss was just to correct that blurted out, thoughtless comment she had made!

Mmm, really so handsome, so cool!

Lin Yuan was intoxicated and infatuated, wishing for another such domineering kiss, while on the other side, Su Qiuyu wished she could tear Lin Yuan apart and throw her into a cesspit!

"You, you are being too bullying!" Tears streaming down fiercely, Su Qiuyu felt as if her heart was also being smashed and trampled by Xia Zheng, all her dignity being trampled mercilessly like worthless mud.

After dropping that line, Su Qiuyu indignantly turned around and staggered away. Years of dreams and infatuation were destroyed in this moment, utterly and completely.

Xia Zheng squinted his eyes, feeling not a trace of pity or regret, only relief washed over him. He had explained his feelings to Su Qiuyu more than once, but this girl just wouldn’t accept it. Perhaps letting her witness it firsthand was indeed the best solution!

With a slight sigh in his heart, Xia Zheng looked down again and suddenly started, "You, how are you feeling, do you have a fever?"

Lin Yuan’s face was flushed, her eyes misty as if covered by a layer of water vapor. And her lips, why were they so red? He distinctly remembered that he had just sampled them lightly, without any force!

"Ah Zheng."

Even her voice was soft and sweet, making Xia Zheng’s body melt too, goosebumps appearing all over him. Although he loved seeing the gentle Lin Yuan before him, he had to admit, he was still not used to it compared to the usually fierce and domineering Lin Yuan who always had a ’keep out’ vibe.

Glancing left and right, Xia Zheng quickly pulled the nearly collapsing Lin Yuan into Dong Tian. How could he let those irrelevant men see such a seductive Lin Yuan? Better to hide her quickly!

"Let’s go. Let’s go back. Your young helpers and girls are waiting for you to review their work!"

"Yes, I’ll listen to you."

With a message that took several twists, Xia Zheng’s body shuddered hard.

As he pulled Lin Yuan through the door, Xia Zheng suddenly turned his head back nonchalantly, throwing a provocative glance at a certain place.

Not far away, on the second floor of an inconspicuous tea house, a window was slightly ajar, revealing a tall figure standing there.

The tea in his hand had long since lost its heat.

Crack, the teacup suddenly shattered.

Young Master Ma, as ever, seemed not to notice, his hand still tightly clutching the broken cup.

Cheng Yuexiu screamed, quickly running over from the table, picking up her clean handkerchief to help him clean the shattered porcelain from his hands.

"Young Master Ma! Your hand is bleeding! Let me help you..."

"Get out!"

Pushed away, Cheng Yuexiu didn’t balance herself in time, bumping into the corner of the table, a sharp pain hitting her stomach as if a dagger was stirring inside her organs.

But the pain in her stomach still couldn’t compare to the ache in her heart, Young Master Ma, usually so refined and educated, telling her to get out!

Cheng Yuexiu was a smart woman, knowing when to show weakness and when to wisely keep her mouth shut, like now when Young Master Ma’s face was dark as the rolling storm clouds on the horizon, ready to unleash a storm at any moment.

One hand on her stomach, the other on her aching heart, Cheng Yuexiu stabilized herself and slowly sat down in the chair.

Yes, her heart ached, she truly had affections for this refined, talented man. Maybe she should just like his knowledge and his future reputation, like her father had said, but she couldn’t control her own heart!

With force, the bloodied shards of porcelain in his hand, Young Master Ma threw the pieces onto the ground, his eyelids drooping. He needed to protect his hands for the palace exam, to secure the top scholar position, and to snatch Lin Yuan away!

Xia Zheng, just you wait!
