for generations. Her grandfather, Leng Yanting, agreed to this arrangement.Now, she has climbed to the position of Deputy Minister of Finance, which was also her grandfather's intention. However, she..."I'm going to air out my shoes too." Leng Yanchen dodged the question and, just as Qin Niandong sat down, he immediately stood up and walked towards the bright sunshine.

He took off his shoes, and just standing them in the sun for a few seconds made him feel like his blood was boiling. A wave of heat rose from his feet up to his head.

The next second, he realized something was wrong and immediately jumped into the water.

Qin Nianxia was startled by the loud "crash" he made and instinctively followed the sound.

However, when she peered into the pond, Cold Yanchen was already gone without a trace, leaving only ripples on the water from his descent.

"Hey! Leng Yanchen!" Qin Nianxia rushed over, calling out anxiously, "Come out quickly! Don't scare me!"

The noodles remained motionless. Qin Nianxia's mind suddenly flashed with an ominous scene.

Could he have been suddenly bitten by a poisonous insect or snake and fallen into the pool

As soon as she thought of this, Qin Nianxia's heart felt tight and panicked. She immediately jumped into the pond.

In the pond water, Leng Yanchen hovered, holding his breath and relaxing his whole body, trying to cool himself down.

Unexpectedly, Qin Nianxia dove into the water, leaving him stunned.

She is making her way towards him now.

Her long hair flowed like silk in the water, her dress becoming almost transparent, her swaying body, agile as a mermaid in a fairytale.

Leng Yanchen held his breath and focused again.

Qin Nianxia came over and hugged him tightly.

She had no hesitation, and took him swimming towards the surface of the water.

"Wow—"

Both of their minds almost simultaneously came up with the idea.

Qin Nianxia saw Leng Yanchen's eyes open, staring at her blankly. She let out a breath of relief, but her nose felt sour. She couldn't hold back any longer and raised her arms, crying as she rushed into his embrace.

She hugged his neck, her soft body trembling with sobs, her voice hoarse: "Uh—Leng Yanchen, you scared me to death! I thought something happened to you! You can't have anything happen to you! Don't leave me! I can't live without you!"

The water was very cold, Leng Yanchen had to hug her waist and bring her ashore first.

After bringing her out from the pond, he placed her on his lap. He gently wiped away the water and tears mixing on her face while softly asking, "What did you just say"

"Wooo—I can't live without you!" Qin Nianxia's hands were still on Leng Yanchen's shoulders, crying sadly.

Leng Yanchen was suddenly surprised, delighted and heartbroken. He gently patted her back and kissed her water-beaded forehead soothingly.

Then, he gazed at her with deep affection, and said sincerely: "Nian'er, I can't live without you either."

Qin Nianxia's crying abruptly stopped. The moment her eyes met his, the uneasiness in her heart began to beat erratically.

She couldn't describe this strange feeling, and she didn't understand why she felt this way.

"Are you telling the truth" she asked, her voice choked with tears and disbelief.

These days, she can no longer distinguish between what is real and what is fake.

Leng Yanchen indulgently scraped her bridge of the nose, tenderly saying, "Of course it's true!"

"And what about that prince" Qin Nianxia grumbled.

Leng Yanchen: "I don't care about you."

"So, have I successfully straightened you out" Qin Nianxia still remembered her promise.

Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to translate!

Leng Yanchen couldn't help but chuckle at her naivety, but he had to concede to this innocent girl. "Yes! You successfully straightened me out!" He said playfully. "What reward do you want"

"I want a kiss!" she said, and before he could reply, she closed her eyes and kissed him.

Cold Yanchen's breath caught, his mind a little muddled.

Qin Nianxia's kiss was sweet, clumsy, and soft...

She approached him with the most clumsy and direct way possible to ask for this reward.

Though he passively received her awkward and shy kiss, this long-awaited kiss finally granted him his wish.

Leng Yanchen couldn't help but be ecstatic.

Just as she opened her eyes to leave, he immediately cupped her head and passionately captured her youthful pink lips with a gentle response.

Qin Nianxia was startled, her mind reeling. She closed her eyes again, bewildered.

Her hands remained on Leng Yanchen's shoulders, but she couldn't help but slowly wrap her arms around his back, even clumsily responding to his kiss.

Leng Yanchen no longer sipped lightly, he began to savor deeply with passion.

From cautiously setting out on a journey, to smoothly passing through checkpoints, and finally to "conquering cities and plundering land".

He used the gentlest way of conquest, taking her one by one.

Even though she was panting, he couldn't bear to end this kiss that held only love and no lust.

Qin Nianxia didn't know how long she had kissed Leng Yanchen for...

Not until he let her go did she shyly bury her face in his shoulder.

Qin Nianxia only felt that her entire face, even both of her ears, were burning like they had been set on fire.

She held him close, closed her eyes again, and whispered in a heartbroken and humble voice:

"Leng Yanchen, can I like you"

I don't need you to like me, and I don't need you to be with me.

Because, the boys who like me never end up well.

So, let me just like you, as long as you are safe, as long as you are happy…"
