Their gazes pierced through the night, through the light, through the floating dust, and collided with each other.

Fu Qiyuan’s brows furrowed even tighter as he pulled away from her grasp, continuing to search.

“Taking your temperature.”

Su Ran: “…”

That method of taking a temperature was indeed something she had never heard of before.

However, the next second, the man sat up straight from the bed, turned on the bedside wall lamp, and his dark eyes fixed intently on her.

“Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

“Ah? No, I’m not!”

Su Ran blinked her eyes, her gaze somewhat evasive; she also sat up, but the moment she did, she subtly moved backwards, trying to maintain distance from the man.

Her subtle movement did not escape Fu Qiyuan’s attention, as his ink-like eyes suddenly darkened, becoming obscure and unfathomable.

His gaze instantly narrowed, focusing on her.

“Su Xiaoran, are you hiding something from me?”

This name, Su Ran had heard from Mo Shangjie’s lips, but owing to his frivolous nature, the name seemed rather casual.

Yet, now that it came from the man’s lips, his voice was deep and magnetic, the tone rich, wrapping around the lips and teeth, giving a lingering, seductive effect.

It was enough to make someone’s heart melt.

“No… No, what could I possibly be hiding from you!”

Fu Qiyuan’s gaze held hers for a long while, “Come here.”

His voice was deep and cold to the core, the air seemed to drop a few degrees along with it.

Su Ran hesitated for a moment before moving closer to him.

Fu Qiyuan pulled her into his embrace in one swift motion, hooked up her chin with his hand, and his piercing eyes gazed directly into hers.

“Are you avoiding me, or did I do something to anger you today?”

“…No.”

After two seconds of eye contact, Su Ran was the first to look away, breaking the standoff.

The man laughed in exasperation, his hand resting on her waist tightened gradually.

“Why don’t you take a look at yourself and see how insincere you are before you speak.”

Su Ran choked up and didn’t respond.

“Tell me, what’s wrong?”

Su Ran hesitated for a long time before slowly raising her head to look at Fu Qiyuan, her eyes filled with doubt and a plea for understanding.

“Fu Qiyuan, what’s your take on premarital sexual behavior?”

Fu Qiyuan: “…”

“How do you feel about cohabitation before marriage?”

Fu Qiyuan: “…”

“Do you think society should marry first, or do that first?!”

Fu Qiyuan frowned, somewhat unable to listen anymore.

How did so many thoughts suddenly flood her mind in just an hour’s time?

What is all this nonsense?

“What ‘do that’?”

Su Ran: “…”

A flicker of embarrassment crossed her delicate face; how was she supposed to answer that question?

“Xiao Ran, look at me.”

At the sound of that, Su Ran instinctively raised her head, staring blankly at him, while the man’s captivating eyes shimmered, tinged with a hint of bewitchment.

“Tell me, what is ‘do that’?”

Su Ran swallowed hard, her pretty face slightly flushed, about to respond when she saw a glint of amusement in the man’s eyes.

“Fu Qiyuan, you’re doing this on purpose.”

The man’s eyebrows minutely arched, his voice low and tinted with laughter.

“What ‘on purpose’?”

Su Ran was a bit irritated, “You clearly know…”

“Know what? Clap for love?”

Fu Qiyuan finished her sentence for her, his dark eyes alight with mirth as he leaned down close to her.

Su Ran: “…”

Can we please stop mentioning those four words?

“So, were you just considering that kind of thing?”

“…No.”

Su Ran denied, once again avoiding the man’s forthright and fiery gaze.

“Denying your true feelings.”

Su Ran was taken aback, “When have I ever denied my true feelings?”

The man glanced at her indifferently.

“Now.”

Su Ran tugged at her lips, unable to retort.

“Come on, tell me, what have you figured out?”

A frown crossed Su Ran’s forehead. If she had figured anything out, would she still need to ask him?

“Or are you using this to tell me your decision?”

Su Ran stiffened all over and shook her head, “No.”

The man chuckled lightly, his hand on her chin suddenly tightening.

“I’ll take that as a yes!”

Su Ran’s eyes widened, “I didn’t… um…”

Under the light, Fu Qiyuan’s face, which could turn heads, suddenly loomed before her eyes, and then his thin lips fiercely captured hers.

Su Ran hesitated for a moment.

His kiss was more intense than ever, and Su Ran absorbed it with all her being; eventually, she slowly responded, and the two began to sink into it together.

In the night, under the moonlight, two figures found it hard to separate.

Just when Su Ran thought she couldn’t escape that day, Fu Qiyuan slowly let her go, his forehead resting against hers, his voice hoarse and deep.

“Xiao Ran, marry me, will you?”

Su Ran blinked, “Is this your proposal?”

Not romantic at all.

Fu Qiyuan was silent for a long time before finally speaking.

“Then shall I prepare properly and ask again?”

Su Ran chuckled softly. This man was really too cute!

“I won’t let your life have any regrets; I’ll give you a romantic proposal.”

Upon hearing this, Su Ran felt a softness in her heart.

“Okay!”

Fu Qiyuan leaned down again and kissed her on the lips, “This is a mark; you can’t run away.”

Su Ran smiled and snuggled into his embrace.

She had used up all the luck in her life to meet him; how could she possibly run away?

After a while, Su Ran remembered something and asked:

“That Mr. Mark, the ambassador from Country A, do you know him?”

Fu Qiyuan nodded lightly, “Hmm, we have business dealings.”

Su Ran pursed her lips, a twinkle in her eyes.

“No wonder his Chinese is so good. And the other people from Country A who came for the exchange are quite proficient in Chinese too. But who is this Mr. Mark? Why is he serving as Country A’s ambassador?”

Fu Qiyuan smiled lightly, “He’s no ordinary person from Country A. He is a scion of Country A’s Royal Family, and their family legacy will be passed on to him in the future.”

“I see, no wonder then!”

A scion of the Royal Family of Country A?

It seems Country A has quite deep waters to navigate.

But who will be the one to stir up these waters?

–

The next day, the exchange began officially.

Amidst the swirling tides of commerce, power, interests, and capitalism were all the more prominent at this moment.

It was an exchange, but it was also a form of collaboration!

Hosted by Yong City University, fortified by the elite of Hua Country, after a round of exchanges and competitions, Hua Country and Country A signed a series of contracts.

And as the central figure of the exchange, Fu Qiyuan was extremely busy, every day early in the morning, Su Ran would not see a trace of him.

By the time he returned, she had already fallen asleep!

By this account, she hadn’t seen him for two days, and tomorrow was the last day of the exchange!
