Do Not Approach

40

At this moment, her eyes held the bright moon, the stars, and the eldest miss she cherished deeply.

Qin Yi, with her inky eyes, quietly watched Mu Xiaoxiao. She understood the complexities and conflicts in her gaze, her hand caressed her tightly furrowed brow, quietly observing her.

-"Don't be afraid."

She would always be there.

From childhood to adulthood, the eldest miss had never longed to possess someone so desperately, to love someone so intensely.

Perhaps in terms of family ties, she was already bloodied and battered. But in terms of love, everything was new for her. She would make no regrets in this game of chess.

Since she had made her decision, even if it meant being like a moth to the flame, she would follow through without hesitation.

She had fallen in love with Mu Xiaoxiao.

Once in love, she will be devoted.
Whether she had felt the stirrings of her heart, or had unknowingly developed feelings while trying to restrain herself, it didn't matter.

She could wait.

If two months wasn't enough, then six months. If six months wasn't enough, then a year. If a year wasn't enough, she would continue, even if it took a lifetime, she wouldn't fear it.

Perhaps the process would be a little bitter and hard to express, but for Qin Yi, it was a blessing and affection bestowed by heaven.

She had once resented the world.

Resented everything she had gone through.

But at the moment she realized she had fallen for Mu Xiaoxiao, the eldest miss reconciled with this world.

She understood that perhaps all the deceit, betrayal, and pain she had experienced before were meant to lead her to meet her.

Qin Yi now understood what her sister Qin Haiyao meant when she told her that before she left.

"In this lifetime, one walks a path, whether it be joy or pain, the end of the road is fixed."

Xiaoxiao was her fixed point in life.

She would definitely appear.

Qin Yi had always indulged Mu Xiaoxiao, so when she took the wine glass and cheerfully toasted her, she understood Xiaoxiao's feelings.

She had always wanted to relax herself.

Qin Yi was silent for a moment, her eyes fixed on Mu Xiaoxiao.

-"No regrets?"

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, "What's there to regret? It's fine, I'm here, just relax."

She was present, so why was the eldest miss still tense? Moderate drinking could help ease the nerves.

She hoped that in the coming time, she could help the eldest miss relax, make her happy, make her laugh, and let her experience a world full of life, rather than return to the Qin family and be trapped once again in that cold, lifeless grave.

That way, her trip to the Qin family wouldn't be in vain.

Under Mu Xiaoxiao's gaze, the eldest miss tilted her head and slowly drank the wine. Her neck moved gently, and her lips became tinted with a rosy hue.

It was truly a wonder.

Usually, when people drink, they wait a while before feeling the effects.

However, as soon as the eldest miss finished her drink, her jade-like cheeks flushed instantly, followed by a dreamy look in her eyes, her gaze becoming distant.

Mu Xiaoxiao sat beside her and asked, "How is it? Do you feel much more relaxed?"

Zhang Qiao also looked at Qin Yi with newfound admiration. Wow, in her lifetime, she never thought she would see her idol in such a charming light.

The eldest miss wasn't just aloof in her daily life, she also maintained a high-cold, ascetic style in the entertainment industry, and her fans fondly dubbed her the "Ice Beauty of the Mortal Realm."

But now, after drinking, her features softened, her eyes sparkled with light, rippling with a hint of warmth. She stared at Mu Xiaoxiao for a while and then lifted her weak, soft hand.

-"You stand up."

Mu Xiaoxiao immediately set down her wine glass, patted her bottom, and stood up. "What's up, eldest miss? Did you get tipsy after just one drink?"

Before she could finish her sentence, her waist was suddenly hugged. Following that, with a hint of sandalwood fragrance filling her nose, the eldest miss buried her head in Mu Xiaoxiao's embrace, nuzzling like a cat, her eyes squinting into slits, her soft body leaning against her.

Feeling Mu Xiaoxiao's stiffness, the eldest miss pouted in dissatisfaction, looking up at her as if feeling wronged.

-"Why aren't you hugging me?"

Mu Xiaoxiao: ............

Was this the eldest miss's unusual behavior after drinking?

If she had known it would be like this, she would have taken her to drink earlier.

She was doomed!
