Chapter 201: Chapter 201: When the Honest Man Goes Astray (6)

And that’s exactly how Qin Jiran felt towards Su Yanyi!

By the time Qin Jiran had composed himself and returned, Su Yanyi was already seated in a chair nearby, looking at him with a playful and provocative expression. It seemed a mix of teasing banter and discerning scrutiny, somewhat profound and somewhat intoxicating!

Qin Jiran knew that such a look from Yanyi meant she was well aware of all his recent reactions, which made him slightly uncomfortable as he halted in his steps. His voice was a bit hoarse as he said, "Yanyi, what are you looking at?"

"I’m naturally looking at you," Su Yanyi didn’t try to hide it; instead, her gaze became even more straightforward, making Qin Jiran even more uneasy.

"Looking at what about me?" Qin Jiran stiffened and feigned innocence in an attempt to normalize the atmosphere a bit.

"You’re playing dumb on purpose." Su Yanyi’s tone rose playfully, the teasing intent even more apparent.

Qin Jiran chuckled ruefully, realizing it was futile to try to change the subject or bluff his way out when talking with someone like Yanyi.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Jiran also straightforwardly admitted, "I’m feeling shy!"

For a split second, Su Yanyi’s face took on an extremely odd expression, caught between wanting to laugh and being slightly stunned. Seeing this made Qin Jiran want to laugh too, and then they both burst out laughing.

It was not the mild, superficial chuckle of the past, nor a faint smile. This time, their laughter was filled with great joy and even boisterous chuckles - the kind one would call a hearty laugh.

For two individuals who usually displayed rather rigid facial expressions, such laughter was extraordinarily rare, and except for each other, unseen by outsiders. Perhaps not even the elders of the Su family had seen Su Yanyi laugh so heartily, since she had been so icy and averse to laughing since childhood.

One could imagine that if Su Family members, especially the brother who had the potential to be overly protective, saw this scene, he would certainly be fiercely jealous of Qin Jiran.

After the laughter subsided, the atmosphere was no longer so charged. Qin Jiran sat down beside Su Yanyi without a word, only looking at her with eyes brimming with affection.

Suddenly, Su Yanyi felt that expressing emotions truly didn’t need words; such sincere looks were enough to say it all.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I’ll feel shy too." Feelings, or perhaps love, really must be a wondrous thing. It can even change one’s personality, as with Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi. Both were usually cold or indifferent people, yet when together, they couldn’t ignore the tenderness that burgeoned between them. They even started to indulge in jokes and teasing, their relationship growing more intertwined, more in tune, and deeper in affection!

Qin Jiran’s smile grew even brighter, and with a courage that was slightly awkward, he reached out and gently stroked Su Yanyi’s head, a careful gesture infused with warmth. "I haven’t yet seen you look shy," he said.

In fact, Su Yanyi was naturally capable of shyness too, but as the high and cold Queen Su, she naturally found it hard to show such feelings, choosing instead to feel shy in silence, although those moments were very rare.

Having her hair stroked was quite a peculiar feeling. The man’s large hand was warm, not scalding but comforting, and Su Yanyi found it agreeable. She did not resist Qin Jiran’s gesture, merely arching an eyebrow and saying, "I, on the other hand, often see you feeling shy."

Being teased again, all Qin Jiran could do was chuckle wryly. Although it was true, why did it feel like she was flirting with him when Yanyi said it!

"Really?" Seeing that Qin Jiran only responded with a wry smile and remained silent, Su Yanyi couldn’t resist asking another mischievous question, leaning forward a bit as she did.

Qin Jiran looked at Su Yanyi, his eyes twinkling, and the next moment, he also leaned forward, kissing the woman before him.

If he couldn’t answer, then he wouldn’t. Even honest men, often pushed around, should know when to strike back. Ever since he last diverted Yanyi’s attention with this method, Qin Jiran had kept it in mind, thinking to use it again when necessary.

Su Yanyi just lifted her eyebrows in response and began to reciprocate, inwardly sighing that even the most sincere men could learn to be bad. But this kind of "bad," she quite liked!
