Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Two Little Secrets

Su Yanyi spoke earnestly, and Qin Jiran listened with surprise and excitement. His expression was unmistakably thrilled; his gaze tenderly fixed on Su Yanyi as if he wanted to etch her image into his eyes.

Is what Yanyi said really true? Is she genuinely willing to work with him in nurturing their marriage? And even promised to try to be a good wife? Qin Jiran seriously doubted whether he was experiencing a hallucination again!

Qin Jiran told himself to remain calm, not to appear too excited, so as not to make Yanyi think he was frivolous and unstable.

However, upon calming down and pondering Yanyi’s words, the clever Qin Jiran also noticed some issues.

When he jokingly asked her about the misunderstanding of her liking him, Yanyi didn’t answer, clearly avoiding the topic on purpose.

The rush of excitement felt somewhat dampened, and Qin Jiran reproached himself for his greediness. Despite having attained so much, he was upset and saddened by the slightest unattainable thing, which was indeed very inappropriate.

But, upon reflection, what he wanted wasn’t necessarily the marriage, but Su Yanyi’s affection. It seemed like such a lofty desire, always so distant, that he didn’t dare to entertain the thought.

Nonetheless, being able to make such progress, Qin Jiran should be content. The second step comes after the first, and in this case, they were already on steps three and four. With his proximity to the "pavilion near the water," having Yanyi’s promise, he could definitely use a lifetime to make her fall for him!

"Do you have anything else? If not, I’m going to rest." Seeing the man’s somewhat silly grin, Su Yanyi found it amusing. After watching him for a while and noticing that he seemed a bit dazed, she spoke to remind him.

"No, then you should rest early, good night." Qin Jiran said somewhat unnaturally, restraining the smile on his face, yet his joy was still evident.

Not long after Qin Jiran left, Su Yanyi prepared to sleep. She turned off the light and closed her eyes but jolted awake the next instant. Without any courtesy, she extended her delicate leg and kicked the Little Golden Turtle, which had crawled to her feet without her noticing, sending it flying away. With a ’bang’, the Little Golden Turtle landed on its back and didn’t stay still but spun in place, much like a toy top.

When Su Yanyi turned on the light and looked over, she felt both annoyed and amused. The Little Golden Turtle was both clumsy and silly, always causing trouble. Luckily, Qin liked it, or else it really would be completely useless.

Having watched the Little Golden Turtle spinning in circles long enough, Su Yanyi kindly picked it up and left the bedroom, heading towards Qin Jiran’s room.

At the beginning of their marriage, because of Su Yanyi’s disdain for Qin Jiran, their rooms were the farthest apart. However, being on the same floor, the furthest was just a few more steps. Su Yanyi didn’t have the habit of knocking on doors in her own house, so she just pushed the door open and walked in, glanced around, and then her gaze settled on a point.

The word "physique" could describe women, and naturally, it could also describe men. Su Yanyi, who was from the entertainment industry and used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women from a young age, was still captivated by the sight before her, her breath turning gentle almost instantly.

The beautiful lines of a bare back were presented unobstructedly before Su Yanyi. Qin Jiran, who had just taken off his clothes and hadn’t yet gone to bed, was now a feast for Su Yanyi’s eyes. When he heard the noise and abruptly turned around, his upper body was also fully exposed to Su Yanyi, making her eyes shine even brighter.

Sudden attacks like this were indeed delightful. She should continue making such efforts in the future, Su Yanyi couldn’t help thinking.

"Yanyi, is something the matter?" Regaining his composure, Qin Jiran’s movements were still swift, as he quickly put on the sleepwear he had just removed, feeling somewhat relieved he hadn’t gotten around to taking off his pants yet.

Seeing Qin Jiran put on his clothes, Su Yanyi felt a bit disappointed. This man’s movements were always so quick. Last time in the changing room, it was the same. It wouldn’t hurt to dress more slowly. Was he afraid she wouldn’t get a good look?

Su Yanyi raised her eyebrows, looking at the sleepwear on Qin Jiran, and suddenly felt it was a bit strange. Hadn’t he been wearing pajamas just now? Why did he take them off after coming back? Could it be...

In an instant, a flash of insight sparked in Su Yanyi’s mind, leading her to consider a very interesting possibility.

"Do you have a habit of sleeping naked?"

Meanwhile, without waiting for Qin Jiran to answer, the System already provided Su Yanyi with the answer.

Having such a small secret discovered, Qin Jiran felt quite uncomfortable all over, even his ears were getting hot. He coughed lightly to divert the subject, "Yanyi, did you come to see me because there’s something you need?"

Just as he had almost never stepped into Su Yanyi’s room, Su Yanyi had also rarely entered his room before, only recently visiting his study. Now that she was in his room, there must certainly be a reason.

After Qin Jiran asked, he noticed the golden object in Su Yanyi’s hand and understood, smiling as he spoke, "Did Little Golden Turtle go to find you? I was looking for it just now and couldn’t find it anywhere."

Seeing Qin Jiran’s discomfort, Su Yanyi had no intention of letting it go. She continued to press him with a touch of malice, "You haven’t answered my question yet, no changing the subject."

Being teased with a straight face was utterly speechless, and Qin Jiran, with his ears turning red, asked himself why he felt as if he was being teased?

"Cough, I’m more comfortable like this. You can just leave the little thing here and go rest. You have work tomorrow."

Qin Jiran knew Su Yanyi’s personality very well—if she insisted on finding something out, she certainly wouldn’t give up halfway. If he didn’t tell her the answer, she would definitely keep asking, just making him feel more embarrassed.

However, Qin Jiran was somewhat helpless. He, a grown man, was being teased by the woman he loved. Where had things gone wrong for this to happen?

Su Yanyi had been watching Qin Jiran the whole time—his unnatural expression, the awkwardness of changing the subject, and his slightly reddened ear tips...

Reddened ear tips?

"Are you feeling shy?" Su Yanyi’s forthrightness, without any reservations in this context, could also be considered another form of teasing, but either way, Qin Jiran’s ear tips turned even redder.

At the same time, the voice of the System rang out again.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a Level Two task. You’ve been awarded one point, bringing your current score to fourteen points. Please keep up the good work!]

Discovering two of Qin Jiran’s little secrets in one night, and those kinds of extremely private ones at that, what luck!

Su Yanyi felt certain she would have a good dream tonight!

And Qin Jiran felt sure he wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight. Who had brought Su Yanyi over? Quickly take her back!

Even Qin Dada could get angry with embarrassment!
