Chapter 1038: Xiao Yan's Thoughts, Xun Er is His _1

In Xun Er's boudoir, Xu Ran quietly held her waist from behind, neither of them saying a word, simply enjoying that unique tranquility.

Xun Er was indeed gentle and quiet, and holding her, Xu Ran's heart also calmed down a lot.

"Brother Xu Ran, you..."

"Aren't you going back?"

Xun Er asked with shy indignation. She glanced at the sky outside, her heart racing.

It was getting late, and Xu Ran still hadn't left. Could it be...

"I don't want to leave. It's not easy for my Xun'er to have only me in her heart now, I can't bear to go," Xu Ran said indulgently. Although Xun Er's relationship with Xiao Yan had fallen apart before, Xun Er hadn't completely cut off her feelings for him. It was only after learning what had happened with Xiao Yu that Xun Er finally let go of her past feelings for Xiao Yan.

"I really have no feelings for Xiao Yan now. I won't have anything to do with him in the future. I really dislike him now," Xun Er said seriously, sensing Xu Ran's thoughts.

Now she truly moved past her history.

"Even though I was with Xiao Yan before, nothing happened between us," Xun Er added in explanation, worried that Xu Ran might misunderstand her.

But indeed, nothing had happened between her and Xiao Yan.

She had always been conservative; every time Xiao Yan had wicked thoughts, she would resist, and Xiao Yan would give up the idea. It was the same with Xu Ran by her side, even though he was too bad, coming closer even when she refused him.

Even so, she still hadn't agreed to those things with Xu Ran.

"Silly girl. The past is the past, and I don't care about it. I only care about our future," Xu Ran, who knew the original story well, naturally believed Xun Er's words. With Ling Ying closely protecting Xun Er, there was no way Ling Ying would allow her and Xiao Yan to be too intimate.

Ling Ying was not merely there to protect Xun Er; he also monitored her feelings.

Xun Er and Xiao Yan were just close, and Ling Ying naturally wouldn't comment. But any excessively intimate behavior would be interrupted by Ling Ying. So he naturally believed Xun Er.

In the original story, Xiao Yan and Xun Er only truly got together later in Zhongzhou.

In their youth, Xiao Yan and Xun Er had just a vague fondness for each other.

So he naturally wasn't worried.

Xiao Yan was too naive. If it had been him, how could he have endured for so long?

That's why, when he saw in his past life so many relationships lasting a year or two with nothing happening, he wanted to laugh. Nine times out of ten, they were just raising a wife for someone else.

If only he had made a move earlier, even a future breakup wouldn't hurt as much.

Poor Little Flame.

"Can I stay here tonight?"

"I'll just hold you, not go any further," Xu Ran said with a mischievous smile.

"Ah?"

Xun Er's face turned red. What did he mean by not going further? She didn't understand.

"Then you behave. Otherwise, Xun Er will get angry, and I won't bother with you in the future," Xun Er said, intending to refuse. But thinking of her past relationship with Xiao Yan, even though she hadn't done anything to betray Xu Ran, she felt somewhat sorry for being intimate with Xiao Yan for so long and therefore hesitated before agreeing.

However, she didn't quite trust Xu Ran to be a gentleman.

Could the bad boy Xu Ran really restrain himself?

She had heard from Xiao Mei that Xu Ran was very bad, always bullying her.

Of course, that kind of bullying meant...

Though Xiao Mei looked very happy, hearing about such things made one feel uncomfortable. Could it really be enjoyable?

These past few days, despite Xiao Mei and Xun Er having a mutual hostility regarding their relationships with Xu Ran, in the end, both of them opened their hearts to each other. Having known each other at the Xiao Family for so long, once they put their conflicts aside, they quickly became close.

About those, naturally, it was Xiao Mei herself who spoke of them.

She felt that Xun Er would have to go through these experiences in the future, so she spoke bluntly about them. Xun Er had always been naive, and although general great families would teach girls about these matters during their adolescence, she had moved to the Xiao Family at an early age and naturally had not come into contact with such things, so she listened with a red face and hot ears.

Even if she was naive, she could still hear that Xu Ran's flirtations were obviously more than that of an ordinary person.

"You, you, be honest, okay?"

"Otherwise, I'll really get angry."

Xun'er said very seriously, somewhat afraid.

If Xu Ran really used the same tactics on her that he did with Xiao Mei, she would go crazy.

Her understanding of intimacy between men and women was limited to just holding hands and hugging each other.

How could she...

"Really, it's just hugging, nothing else," Xu Ran said, pursing his lips. Was his promise that unbelievable? Although there might be a chance he would squeeze a little while hugging, he could still control himself. With his strength, he would not go too far.

"It'd better be," Xun Er said sharply as she glared at Xu Ran, then timidly slipped off her long dress.

On her snow-white body, only underwear remained.

Seeing this scene, Xu Ran couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

But before Xu Ran could react, Xun Er quickly hid under the quilt and lay down.

It was still the first time she had exposed her body in front of someone else, even if it was Xu Ran, but she still felt somewhat embarrassed. After all, she was just a girl.

"Hehe, good Xun Er, your Brother Xu Ran is coming," Xu Ran said with a smile, showing his teeth as he looked at Xun Er, who only revealed her head and was wrapped in the quilt, and then he dove in too.

And just at this moment, Xiao Yan sneaked into the Xiao Family household.

Using his familiarity with the Xiao Family, he headed towards Xun Er's residence.

He had already been driven out of the Xiao Family and could no longer freely enter and leave the Xiao residence. He had planned to go in during the day to find Xun Er and was even beaten up by several guards, which made him feel stifled.

Originally, he was the Xiao Family's peerless genius, looked up to by everyone in the family, and now he had fallen to such a state.

In the end, Xiao Yan could only sneak over at night.

"Xun Er."

"I know I was wrong. I should not have misunderstood you by any means. You can scold me all you want, I just hope that you won't believe Xu Ran, that big bastard. Xu Ran is capable of doing anything; right now, he may deceive you with sweet words because you are young and beautiful, but once he loses interest, he will abandon you," Xiao Yan said, feeling distressed. He had seen through Xu Ran's character. What would happen if Xun Er were treated like this by Xu Ran in the future?

If Xun Er had complaints about him, he could leave. As long as Xun Er was happy, he was willing to leave everything behind; he owed Xun Er that much.

But he absolutely could not let Xun Er be with Xu Ran!

Xu Ran would only hurt Xun Er!

During his most difficult years, Xun Er had always been by his side. What a good girl Xun Er was, she definitely did not deserve such an ending. If anyone bullied Xun Er, he, Xiao Yan, would never accept it.

"Xun Er is so conservative that she definitely hasn't let Xu Ran do anything; there is still a chance."

"I'll remind Xun Er now, and when my strength grows, I'll come back to win Xun Er over," Xiao Yan thought excitedly.

As long as Xun Er hadn't completely gotten together with Xu Ran, there was still hope.

With this thought, Xiao Yan's mood improved significantly.
