"Holy shit! What was that thing that just passed by?"
"It seems, like, probably about eighty percent, a bolt of lightning!"
"Bullshit! Does your lightning come in male and female? I clearly heard a woman's laughter just now, and damn, it was sweet."
...
Whenever Ye Tian cycled by, everyone was bewildered, speechless, with no idea what had just happened.
Yun Xinyan, following right behind Ye Tian, felt extremely excited, constantly exclaiming and laughing loudly. The sensation of the wind rushing past was so thrilling, it stripped Yun Xinyan of her usual disguises, pride, and the faux coldness, revealing a little girl venting all her displeasure.
Before long, they reached the outskirts. Looking up at the star-filled sky, Yun Xinyan felt a sense of longing, "Ye Tian, that's enough, stop now."
"Call me Tian Tian." Ye Tian gave a roguish smile, still relaxed. The breakneck speed run just now hadn't tired him out at all. If professional athletes from the Olympics, especially those born to cycle, saw this, they might die of frustration.
"Tian Tian." Yun Xinyan said, her cheeks slightly flushed with embarrassment.
"Call me Tian Tian hubby."
"Go to hell!" Yun Xinyan said furiously, swinging her hand to smack Ye Tian, but he suddenly shook his arm, causing the bicycle to jolt. Frightened, Yun Xinyan immediately clung to Ye Tian and said angrily, "Stop now."
Ye Tian nodded, and gradually came to a stop. Soon, they saw a lake to the side. He steered the handlebar and walked toward the lakeside.
They got off the bike and walked to the lake's edge, not minding the dirt, and simply sat down.
Ye Tian looked at Yun Xinyan in surprise, "Don't you mind the dirt?"
However, Yun Xinyan didn't answer, lost in thought as she gazed ahead.
The night had fallen dark by now. The clear lake reflected the myriad of stars and a full moon. Ripples twinkled under the starlight, moonbeams danced on the water, creating a dream-like scene.
"Do you know what my childhood dream was?" Yun Xinyan asked softly, arms wrapped around her knees, tilting her head up to stare at the vast starry sky.
"My ultimate dream was to be an astronaut, to soar through space. Ah, how wonderful that would feel, to walk alone under the stars, exploring the magical mysteries between heaven and earth. Just thinking about it excites me."
Ye Tian looked at Yun Xinyan, who seemed like a young girl at the moment, and couldn't help but smile silently, gently wrapping his arms around her.
This time, Yun Xinyan didn't resist, but turned to look at Ye Tian and chuckled, "Sounds pretty silly, doesn't it?"
"Silly? Not at all." Ye Tian shook his head, his face breaking into a seductive smile as he moved closer to Yun Xinyan, "Do you know what my dream was when I was a kid?"
"You had a dream too?" Yun Xinyan looked at Ye Tian in surprise, prompting a wry smile from him, "Look at you, looking down on people. That's cold. I need some comfort here."
"Go die." Yun Xinyan couldn't help but chuckle at Ye Tian, then after a moment she asked, "So, tell me, what was your dream?"
"My childhood dream was to develop a Divine Artifact that could remove censorship mosaics, to make countless house-bound guys eternally grateful." Ye Tian looked up at the sky with a mischievous smile, "That would truly be wonderful, at least much more interesting than your dream."
A Divine Artifact to remove censor mosaics?
Yun Xinyan instantly had a gloomy expression, her pleasant mood thoroughly disrupted by Ye Tian.
Suddenly, the two looked at each other, and in that moment, silence spoke louder than words.
There was no awkwardness, no laughter, just fullness of warmth.
Yun Xinyan felt an unprecedented sense of security within her heart, her lips curved slightly, and she slowly moved closer.
Ye Tian's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately understood that Yun Xinyan was willing to... with him.
...
The next morning, the bright sunlight shone through the clear glass window onto Yun Xinyan's delicate and fair face, her tender red lips pursed slightly, her eyelashes fluttered lightly, and she slowly opened a pair of bright and clear eyes.
Turning her head to glance at Ye Tian, who was sleeping like a log, Yun Xinyan really wanted to strangle him. This somewhat mysterious, somewhat capable, somewhat smooth-talking guy, what did she even see in him?
Glaring at Ye Tian, who now sported a charming smile in front of her, Yun Xinyan exclaimed indignantly, "What are you doing? Taking advantage and playing cute, huh?"
Ye Tian gave her a tender smile and kissed Yun Xinyan, "I will treat you a bit, otherwise it will hurt. How could I bear to see you suffer."
"You..." Yun Xinyan wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she couldn't say anything at all.
Soon, Ye Tian pulled out the silver needle and slowly stood up, Yun Xinyan not only spaced out at the sight of his physique, the standard eight-pack abs, healthy tan skin, and a body that wasn't exaggerated yet exuded a hint of masculine wildness. It was his charming smile on his face that made Ye Tian so mysterious.
"Okay," Ye Tian seemed surprised, but then he nodded and went out to take a shower.
Yun Xinyan was stunned for a moment, and immediately cursed herself silently. What was wrong with her, actually afraid of him? Could it be that she really fell for him?
Half an hour later, Ye Tian came out, and Yun Xinyan also went to freshen up, then they left together for breakfast.
After breakfast, Ye Tian casually asked, "Where are you going?"
"To the company," Yun Xinyan seemed to have restored her former nobility and elegance, her brows held a touch of indifference and beauty, catching the attention of everyone around her.
She was like a born angel, the focus everywhere she went.
"I'll go with you," Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, and casually wrapped his arms around Yun Xinyan. No matter how noble, she was still my wife, Ye Tian's wife, and nobody else can touch!
Yun Xinyan felt somewhat awkward, yet somewhat pleased. Seeing that she couldn't break free, she simply went along with Ye Tian, looking at him helplessly, "What are you going to do at the company?"
"You're my wife, naturally I go wherever you go," Ye Tian said with a mischievous smile, "Besides, now I don't have a place to stay. Where else would I go if not follow you?"
Yun Xinyan was immediately at a loss for words. She really didn't want to leave Ye Tian outside. Although she wasn't worried, it still felt quite uncomfortable.
Thus, she let Ye Tian have his way and they took a taxi straight to Yun Corporation.
On the way, Yun Xinyan warned Ye Tian, "You can go, but we must establish ground rules. For now, at least, you can't call me 'wife', especially when there are lots of people around."
"Oh? So naturally I can when there are fewer people, 'wife,' 'wife,' 'wife.' Important things seem to be said thrice. You city folks sure know how to play. What's the point of this?" Ye Tian feigned ignorance but it made Yun Xinyan's face flush with irritation. By now, she knew perfectly well that this man was capable of anything, he was just teasing her!
"Hmph! Second, call me President. Third, you go wherever I go," Yun Xinyan said huffily. She was very clear that she couldn't suppress this guy, so she had to keep him close at all times. If he ever said the wrong thing, her reputation at the company would be ruined.
What's more, having had a falling out with Yun Feng, she didn't know the current situation of the company, hence Yun Xinyan also hoped that Ye Tian could help her. It was one thing to dislike Ye Tian's free-spirited nature; however, her appreciation and curiosity about him made it impossible for her to hide her feelings.
Moreover, Yun Xinyan felt very assured with him by her side; the feeling of facing the world alone as she once did was gone.
Ye Tian's eyes sparkled with a deep luster, he didn't say anything, just kept nodding in agreement.
