Reciprocity

'Sister Nanyan, I've missed you so much over the years!'

'I tried to find you back then, but with my own abilities, I had no way to start!'

'And what's up with that man? He can't really be your... ah? He really is your man?!'

'Me? If it were me, I could probably live my whole life alone!'

'Hehe, who says we women have to rely on those stinky men to survive! I want to prove that their views are wrong! I've been working hard to prove my worth to my family!'

'But recently, a guy came with a marriage contract and demanded to fulfill the agreement set by the previous generation to become a son-in-law!'

'Strangely, my great-grandfather directly nodded in agreement!'

'So, as the only eligible woman in the family, I'm the one who got unlucky! I actually have to marry a stranger!'

'Ugh, just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle and feels disgusting!'

'Anyway, I definitely won't let him touch a single finger of mine!'

'Sigh, let's not talk about those annoying things for now!'

'Hehe, Sister Nanyan, your skin is really so tender and smooth, even better than those eighteen-year-old girls! I wonder how you take care of it?'

..... 

Listening to Gong Jinyao's random thoughts, Mu An shook his head slightly.

When people talk, they subconsciously go through the content in their minds.

Even if it's just for a moment, it still falls under the category of inner thoughts.

So, to some extent, eavesdropping on inner thoughts is no different from remotely listening to someone speak live.

But what Mu An didn't expect was that a girl who seemed very aloof could chat so much once her mouth was opened!

Perhaps this is the strange way of communication between girls and their close friends?

In any case, he didn't quite understand it.

"Are all you girls just hidden chatterboxes?"

Looking at the treasure girl who obediently stayed by his side, he couldn't help but ruffle her hair.

This made her neatly arranged long hair appear a bit messy.

But it still couldn't hide the powerful charm of the girl's stunning beauty!

And Chu Youmeng raised her head, her clear and bright eyes showing a hint of confusion.

Like a little deer lost in the forest, she made people want to tease her!

"Ah, I... I'm not really sure!"

"If you find me noisy, I can talk less usually!"

The girl tilted her head, her delicate brows slightly furrowed as she thought seriously, then shook her head.

Mainly, she had too few friends around her and was used to being alone.

There was no girl she could confide in.

In other words, she had no so-called close friends!

Even if she wanted to become a qualified chatterbox, it was simply out of the question!

"I was just asking casually; you don't have to take it to heart!"

"Besides, how could I dislike you?! I like you too much!"

Mu An played with the girl's soft and fragrant little hand, openly expressing his affection for her.

A super gold mine was right beside him; so many coins should not be wasted!

He not only wanted to collect them but wanted to collect them vigorously!

"W-wait, you..."

The girl instantly blushed, stammering nervously.

She even unconsciously slipped into her unique dialect!

'Oh no!'

'So embarrassing!'

'He's just a bad guy who likes to bully me!'

But it seemed she was gradually getting used to it?

Chu Youmeng covered her flushed and hot face, peeking shyly at Mu An through her fingers.

Trying to hide her shyness, she looked incredibly pure and cute!

.....

Mu An was delighted.

The rewards from his treasure girl (super gold mine) were quite generous!

"I'm a reasonable person. If you feel like you're at a disadvantage, you can bully me back!"

"Reciprocity is the most normal thing, isn't it?"

As he spoke, he deliberately pointed to his cheek.

It seemed to say that he had already opened the door to do business.

Now he was just waiting for this guest to come in for a trade!

But how could a shy and timid girl have the courage to initiate a negotiation or anything?

She could only stammer, struggling internally.

Sometimes, she would lower her head and look sideways at the mountains and peaks, unable to see her own toes.

At other times, she would secretly glance up at Mu An, or rather, at the place he was pointing to.

But she seemed to be afraid of being discovered by someone, quickly lowering her head and avoiding his gaze, pretending to be calm as if nothing had happened.

How could the girl's shy demeanor escape Mu An, who was always focused on her?

He couldn't help but chuckle softly.

It seemed that getting this little girl to take the initiative was still a bit of a stretch!

But that didn't mean he couldn't take the initiative himself...

'Sorry! Everything is for emotional rewards!'

Mu An once again forgave himself for the girl in his heart.

Then, he fixed his gaze on the girl's small face and decisively launched an attack...

A sneak attack!

Someone had just sneakily attacked her without any martial ethics!

She was careless and didn't dodge!

Chu Youmeng couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes, her pretty face turning crimson, like a drop of blood.

Chu "Steam Princess" Youmeng was back online!

"No need to thank me, I've already returned the favor!"

Mu An said seriously, trying to deceive her.

At this moment, the girl, whose brain had short-circuited from embarrassment, showed a hint of confusion in her eyes.

It sounded reasonable.

But why did she feel that something was off?

"If you don't think that's enough, I can take a little more loss and let you gain some more benefits!"

Mu An continued to play the big deceiver, skillfully pulling the girl gently into his embrace.

Feeling her soft, delicate body, a sense of pride suddenly surged in his heart!

This was his treasure girl (super gold mine)!

His very own treasure girl (super gold mine)!

No one could take her away!!

"Don't do that, it wouldn't be good if someone saw..."

Chu Youmeng didn't resist, but couldn't help but close her beautiful eyes.

Her long eyelashes fluttered like trembling butterflies, occasionally blinking.

Her shy face was pure and desirable, her cheeks flushed, radiant like peach blossoms in early March, stunningly beautiful!

"So that means it's fine as long as no one sees?"

Mu An deliberately leaned close to her glistening earlobe and teased her lightly.

The strong masculine aura brushed against the girl's ear, making her feel dizzy and lightheaded.

Her snow-white neck, like her already flushed ears, inevitably took on a hint of the unique color of the evening glow!

The girl didn't speak anymore.

Perhaps she knew she couldn't resist the bullying of a certain bad person.

And those slightly parted, glistening cherry lips seemed to have already hinted at something.
