Chapter 74: Winning Over Beibei’s Crush

Dressed in a thin dance dress, parts of Zhang Lexuan's fair skin, usually hidden, were now on display.

Impressive.

And in black, no less.

Zhang Lexuan herself hadn't noticed; after all, she had only changed her outer clothes to put on the dance dress.

Her black undergarments showed through the sheer fabric of the dance dress.

Whoa.

For someone like Qian Ran, with a powerful spiritual sense, he could see even more.

Zhang Lexuan's figure was truly something, with the black strapless bra barely able to contain her ample curves.

The only downside was that her undergarments weren't bikini-style but rather safety shorts.

Damn it!

She had been wearing a dress before, so naturally, she wore safety shorts underneath. If she had been wearing her regular school uniform or fitted outfit, he might have had a chance to see more.

Qian Ran regretted the timing—he'd missed the perfect opportunity!

Zhang Lexuan's body was incredibly captivating, especially the hints of what lay beneath her dress, making the allure even stronger.

This enticing mystery, the subtle glimpses, were what truly stirred his soul.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Zhang Lexuan felt self-conscious under his gaze, her face flushing red.

Here she was, alone with Qian Ran, dancing just for him.

It felt strange no matter how she thought about it.

Thank goodness no one else was around to see, or her reputation would be ruined.

Why did this scoundrel have to be so relentless?

"Senior Sister, you're so beautiful; I couldn't help but look," Qian Ran quickly diverted his eyes from certain parts of her. If Zhang Lexuan noticed how see-through her dress was, she'd probably go change.

And then he wouldn't have such a nice view.

"Hmph."

Zhang Lexuan felt a little pleased by his compliment, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.

This kid had plenty of girlfriends—he couldn't possibly mean well.

She wasn't about to fall for his tricks.

"Shall I start dancing?" Zhang Lexuan was still hesitant. It had been years since she'd last danced, and she wasn't sure if she'd perform well.

The thought of embarrassing herself in front of Qian Ran was mortifying.

Biting her lip, Zhang Lexuan wondered how she'd let herself agree to this. As the inner court's senior disciple, she usually wouldn't tolerate Qian Ran's antics.

But he really did…

Only with Qian Ran did she feel a sense of being admired as a woman.

In the inner court, she was the senior disciple. To Beibei, she was merely a sister. But only Qian Ran dared to look at her as a woman.

He had been staring openly at her chest and legs.

Qian Ran settled onto the couch, ready to watch his senior sister's performance.

As he suspected, it was a classical dance—far too reserved for his taste.

But with Zhang Lexuan's slim waist and long legs, he was still transfixed.

A shame it wasn't a lively dance with hip-shaking and spinning.

Not that this world even had that kind of dancing. What a pity.

"Didn't like it?"

The dance finished, and Zhang Lexuan walked over to Qian Ran, smiling.

Seeing his somewhat distracted expression, she felt an urge to slap him.

Did he think her dancing was dull?

Her anger flared—she almost wanted to challenge him to a sparring match.

When had she ever danced for anyone before? She'd given him a rare privilege, yet he hadn't even shown proper appreciation?

Her irritation radiated coldly, making Qian Ran shiver.

"No, it was amazing. So beautiful."

"Senior Sister, you're gorgeous, and your dancing is stunning. I don't know what Beibei's thinking."

"If I had such a beautiful senior sister, I'd never let her go. I'd want her dancing for me every day," Qian Ran remarked. Beibei really was an idiot.

Zhang Lexuan would make the perfect wife.

Graceful and gentle outside, but... well, a different kind of charm at home.

Qian Ran felt there was plenty of potential left in Zhang Lexuan to bring out her fun-loving side. She might not be a seductive type, but she could certainly become a delightful partner.

The kind of woman every man dreams of.

Prim and proper outside, spirited at home.

Qian Ran didn't understand why Beibei thought she lacked personality.

If he had a fiancée like Zhang Lexuan, he'd never let her go.

An absolute treasure!

With her high talent, impressive cultivation, and reliability, she was remarkable in every way.

Beibei must be short-sighted.

Perhaps he had never seen this side of Zhang Lexuan, so he assumed she was too serious and reserved?

If that were the case, it would make sense. Zhang Lexuan kept her distance from others, always maintaining a proper image.

Without Qian Ran's persistence, he wouldn't have glimpsed this side of her.

No one's perfect from the start—sometimes, partners need to learn and grow together.

Qian Ran knew that if he won her heart, he could look forward to Zhang Lexuan's spirited dances every day.

Though he lacked a teacher for more advanced dance forms, he could still appreciate her classical performance. If that delicate dance dress came off, leaving only her undergarments, Zhang Lexuan's movements would be mesmerizing.

Ahem…

These thoughts were just musings.

If he wanted this to happen, he'd need to win her over first.

And some dances were best kept for the privacy of a bedroom, leading into other pleasures.

"What do you know?"

Zhang Lexuan hadn't expected such words from Qian Ran, feeling both embarrassed and a little disheartened.

She couldn't understand why Beibei seemed uninterested in her. Perhaps it was because she was older than him? Yet, she was older than Qian Ran too, and here he was, clearly interested in her.

"Senior Sister, I mean it. Beibei is a bit unappreciative. To disregard someone as beautiful as you—he'll regret it if he loses you. Some people only realize the value of what's right in front of them after it's gone."

Sometimes, people took for granted what was closest to them, only caring after it was lost. Qian Ran decided it was time to teach Beibei this lesson.
