You Ran suppressed his laughter, stepped forward, picked up the fallen fabric, wrapped it around her waist, and tied it. Shen Qian watched him in a daze until he started staring at her chest, which was now only covered by pasties.
“Pervert.”
Shen Qian covered her chest, her heart filled with indignation. What kind of lousy dress was this? Even though Nan Nan had mentioned that due to extensive modifications, some seams had been removed, making it prone to falling apart, this was beyond ridiculous. Especially the upper body part; while bare shoulders were fashionable, bare breasts were just perverse. Yu Ran casually wrapped his arm around Shen Qian, pulling her into his embrace. His deep eyes sparkled brighter than the stars in the sky, and he smiled, “In such a setting, shouldn’t we do something meaningful?” The sea breeze was blowing, the waves were surging… Shen Qian was utterly disheveled by the wind. She pushed Yu Ran away, glaring fiercely, “I’m not into this.” Then, clutching her chest, she prepared to head towards the cabin door. Just as she was about to step in, she heard laughter from inside, “The sea breeze at night has a different charm.” “Yes, yes, it’s good to inhale some sea air.” Shen Qian panicked, looking around for somewhere to hide. But there was only the flat, open deck around her, with only Yu Ran’s towering figure to shield her. It seemed Yu Ran also heard the approach of someone; his smile deepened, his eyes squinting as he beckoned Shen Qian over with a finger, like calling a puppy. Shen Qian was filled with sorrow and anger, with nowhere to escape or choose; she trotted over to Yu Ran like a well-behaved pug, trying to make herself as small as possible, nestling into his arms. Yu Ran’s back was towards the cabin entrance, and Shen Qian sneakily peeked at the approaching figures. “Qianqian, this is too fake,” Yu Ran said with a meaningful smile, “It’s obvious there are two people, but just standing like this will only draw more attention.” Shen Qian knew this feeling well because she was the same kind of person, always taking a few extra glances at something intriguing. She was in a state of panic, thinking if anyone saw them like this, she might as well die. She clutched Yu Ran’s clothes, her voice urgent, “What should we do now?” Yu Ran’s hand gently stroked Shen Qian’s exposed white back, whispering in her ear, his warm breath tickling her sensitive skin, “Avoid looking at what’s not proper.” “…” As Shen Qian was still dazed, two men emerged from the cabin, their attention initially elsewhere, deeply engaged in conversation. Shen Qian’s nerves tightened; she took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and faced the inevitable, “Quick, do something improper.” Yu Ran suddenly leaned forward, causing Shen Qian to lean back against the railing, her face filled with tension. “Really? Going wild?” Yu Ran said helplessly, “In guerrilla warfare, the attack must be fierce, fast, and accurate.” Shen Qian was still pondering his words when Yu Ran didn’t give her time to think, immediately executing his “fast.” He grabbed her chin and kissed her fiercely. Shen Qian grimaced, her body squirming from the discomfort of her chin being gripped. Yu Ran released her chin, his hands now gently caressing her breasts. Shen Qian stiffened, wanting to push him away, but her hand was caught by Yu Ran and placed on the railing. She could only grip the railing tightly, trying not to react. She kept reminding herself this was just an act, and after avoiding improper sights, it would be over. However… Yu Ran, unsatisfied, sighed softly and pried open her lips. Shen Qian whimpered, her legs going numb; if not for the railing, she might have collapsed. Yu Ran’s hand moved to her thigh, sending a tingling sensation through her. Yu Ran knew exactly which parts of Shen Qian’s body she couldn’t control. Indeed, Shen Qian leaned all her weight against the railing, her free hand involuntarily reaching for Yu Ran, her hand daringly exploring his back. As she slightly lifted her gaze, still in a daze, she met the stunned eyes of the two men. The men stood there, mouths agape, looking utterly foolish. Shen Qian blushed, mortified at being caught in the act. Yu Ran glanced back expressionlessly at the two men, who were immediately snapped out of their stupor by his icy gaze and fled back into the cabin. Shen Qian sighed in relief as they left, but then choked as Yu Ran lightly licked her neck, sending shivers down her spine, and she clung to him tightly. “What’s wrong?” Yu Ran asked with a mischievous smile, enjoying the embrace he had anticipated. Shen Qian remained silent, her face redder than a monkey’s bottom. She felt utterly embarrassed; she… she had such a lewd body, so sensitive, and now… she wanted more. Embarrassed. “They’re gone,” Yu Ran said innocently, though he had noticed Shen Qian trembling and her hand caressing his back. “Um…” Shen Qian bit her lip, finding it hard to speak. After much hesitation and several gulps, she managed to say, “What do you want?” Someone chuckled above her, and began to undress. Shen Qian was startled, thinking they were going to do it right there, stammering, “I prefer the bed.” Yu Ran, feeling helpless, draped the clothes over her, buttoning them up tightly, “The sea breeze is too strong here.” Then, he took her hand, winking, “Not satisfying.” “…” In truth, Shen Qian regretted not resisting his invitation then because this man was actually more eager than her, just better at controlling himself. She felt completely drained. Shen Qian lay weakly in the bath, water reaching her chin when Yu Ran turned off the tap, sat beside her, and started scrubbing her back. Shen Qian lifted her eyelids, though she was shy, she truly had no strength left, only managing to say with a mournful face, “You’re nothing but a beast.” Yu Ran raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a special glint, almost threatening. Shen Qian turned away, weakly saying, “But even beasts have their uses.” Yu Ran pulled her into his arms, smiling, “And what uses are those? Hmm?”
When Shen Qian’s back pressed against Yu Ran’s hot chest, she felt extremely uncomfortable. She struggled a few times to break free, but to no avail. She had little strength, and this beast that had just unleashed its desires still had plenty of energy; she was bound to lose. She obediently nestled in Yu Ran’s embrace, diverting the topic, “Where did Qianqian go? I didn’t see her when I entered the room.”
“It’s about to give birth, so I placed it with the maid,” Yu Ran replied. Shen Qian immediately turned to look at him, “The maid doesn’t know how to handle this. Don’t forget, I’m a professional midwife. I’ll bring Qianqian back later.”
“Okay.”
“Speaking of which, I’ve really sinned; I couldn’t let my mixed-hair see its own child being born.” Yu Ran leaned over, intentionally getting closer. Shen Qian tried to move back, but the bathtub was too slippery. She lost her footing and plunged into the water. Yu Ran pulled her out, and she coughed violently. Yu Ran gave a wry smile, “Are you so wary of me? It’s quite hurtful.”
Shen Qian, still coughing, managed to stop and immediately rolled her eyes, “You scared me by suddenly leaning over, okay?”
Yu Ran furrowed his brows; unknowingly, Shen Qian’s courage had grown, her eye-rolling had become more frequent, and she was starting to show her claws. Regarding all this, Yu Ran felt she had the charm of her former self. He raised an eyebrow, smiling, “Qianqian, since you still have the energy to roll your eyes, you must be well rested, right?”
“What… what do you want?” As soon as she spoke, Shen Qian realized she had sealed her fate. Sure enough, Yu Ran slowly approached, teasing before capturing her lips, “I want to.”
