Xu Nian cupped Su Qingya’s face and kissed her deeply.

Su Qingya closed her eyes, savoring the moment, her arms instinctively wrapping around Xu Nian in return.

Yet Xu Nian’s gaze was not on Su Qingya.

Those beautiful yet faintly dangerous fox-like eyes were fixed intently on the hotel’s entrance.

At that moment, a man emerged from the doorway, his expression dark, flanked by two bodyguards. A hotel manager and a group of staff trailed behind him.

So, he’s decided to leave?

What an extravagant display.

But Xu Nian noticed something—a fresh wound on the other side of his waist. A second stab wound. Though he had healed it with his ability, traces of it remained.

What happened?

“P-President Lin, we sincerely apologize for the unpleasant dining experience…”

“I don’t want to hear useless excuses. Investigate! Find out how she escaped! Your only chance to make up for this is to track her down immediately. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you pay the price.”

The man’s voice was a furious roar, his eyes burning with the fury of a lion.

The hotel manager trembled as he apologized, only to be met with a torrent of scathing insults.

“Rest assured, we will review all surveillance footage and locate the culprit for you.”

“Hmph.”

The man snorted coldly, not even bothering to look at him.

What had just happened?

He had endured the clamor of a group of foolish, disgusting women and finally found the one who had stabbed him—in the restroom, no less.

But it turned out to be nothing more than an avatar of the Sequence’s power. Without a word, it stabbed him again before vanishing, leaving behind only lingering laughter in the air. No trace remained.

Joy.

What a disgusting pathway.

Frustrated, he grabbed his phone and fired off a message to Su Qingya’s WeChat account.

But the only response was a red exclamation mark.

Xu Nian had long since deleted him from Su Qingya’s phone.

Su Qingya’s account was meant for her alone.

At most, her parents could be added.

Enraged, the man hurled his phone to the ground. A waiter immediately scrambled to pick up the shattered device, presenting it with utmost deference—though it was the bodyguard who took it.

“Find her. I want all her information within three minutes!”

Xu Nian blinked, withdrawing her gaze and refocusing on the “delicacy” before her, paying no further mind to the hysterical president at the entrance.

The president, however, happened to glance in their direction.

But his rage-clouded mind failed to recognize them.

Or rather, he did recall—the white-fox-eared person he had asked for directions outside the restroom earlier.

So, she was a lesbian.

And to flaunt it so brazenly in public!

What was wrong with this world?

President Lin had misogyny.

The sight of two women being affectionate made him turn away in disgust, his fury intensifying.

“Disgusting.”

A bodyguard opened the car door for him, and he climbed in, soon speeding away.

Seeing that the coast was clear,

Xu Nian finally released Su Qingya.

Perhaps from lack of air, Su Qingya gasped softly, her face flushed and dazed, looking utterly enticing.

Xu Nian licked her lips. The girl’s delicate fragrance, mixed with a hint of sweetness, was irresistible.

The unconscious gesture only deepened the blush on Su Qingya’s face.

“N-Nian, how could you…?”

Su Qingya was on the verge of combusting from embarrassment.

She could feel the murmurs around them. After all, two strikingly beautiful girls engaging in such behavior was bound to draw attention.

Some watched with envy, others with skepticism.

A few even cast odd glances at their own female companions.

And then there were those who, seizing the moment, pulled their friends close and mimicked the act.

“What’s there to be shy about? We’ve been together for three years, yet you’re still acting like a blushing virgin. Pfft—what a loser.”

“Nian, you idiot!”

Su Qingya pounded Xu Nian’s shoulders with her fists.

“Ow!”

“A-Are you okay? Did I hurt you?”

Then she caught sight of Xu Nian’s mischievous grin.

“Bleh~”

“Ahhh! Nian, you’re the worst! I’m ignoring you!”

“Hahaha.”

Somehow, it felt like Su Qingya had reverted to her old self—the Qingya she knew so well.

That yandere act must have been fake, right?

“Ah, I’m kinda hungry. Let’s go eat.”

Xu Nian clung to Su Qingya’s arm, pressing the other girl’s soft, slender hand against her own modest chest.

Ouch.

“Huh? Didn’t you just eat?”

“I wanted to treat someone, but they weren’t interested. We just exchanged a few words before parting on bad terms.”

Hearing this, Su Qingya seemed to steel herself. She planted her feet, refusing to let Xu Nian drag her away.

“What’s wrong?”

“I-I’ve thought it over. I… I was in the wrong. Since you’ve already handled things for me, the least I can do is treat you to a proper meal.”

“Well, obviously you’re paying this time.”

“Of course I am! What I mean is… maybe we don’t have to go far.”

“Here?”

Xu Nian’s eyes swept over Su Qingya, scrutinizing her from head to toe.

“W-What’s with that look?”

Xu Nian knew her girlfriend well—stubborn to the core.

Suggesting they save money would only wound her pride.

“Fine. I’m going to milk you dry. Prepare to be my sugar baby for the next six months.”

“Huh?”

“Pfft—loser.”

Xu Nian turned on her heel, still clinging to Su Qingya’s arm, and marched them back into the hotel.

When she said she’d make Su Qingya pay, she meant it.

“I’ll have this, this, this, and this. Oh, and a roast goose to finish.”

Watching Xu Nian order recklessly, Su Qingya could practically hear her wallet weeping.

She wanted to tell her to order less, but the words never left her lips.

Dish after dish arrived until the table was laden with a feast fit for an emperor. Su Qingya nearly choked at the sight.

Xu Nian smirked.

Every single item had been part of that so-called President Lin’s order.

Though he hadn’t taken a single bite, she’d memorized it all.

Xu Nian deliberately moved her chair next to Su Qingya’s, their seats pressed together.

As the servers brought the food, she idly stroked Su Qingya’s smooth thigh, thoroughly enjoying herself.

But Su Qingya was stubborn too. Not one to be outdone, she retaliated under the table, her own hand sneaking onto Xu Nian’s leg.

Somehow, their movements escalated.

What started as playful teasing turned into a bizarre speed competition.

“Ack—ow ow ow!”

Their legs were red. Red!

“Nian, a-aren’t you going to stop? You seem… a little overwhelmed.”

The gentle girl’s eyes sparkled with mischief.

Damn it! Is this the power of a true heiress? Even her legs are on another level!

Su Qingya’s thighs were smoother, softer, yet strangely resilient compared to Xu Nian’s.

How was she getting faster? Xu Nian could barely keep up!

“I-I’m not giving up! You’ll have to wait a hundred years to beat me, loser!”

“Oh?”

Somehow, Xu Nian felt Su Qingya’s hand drifting lower.

“Mmph!”

Knock knock.

The sound of a server at the door.

“Your dishes are all served.”

“Thank you,” Su Qingya replied smoothly, nodding politely.

“Ah, miss, your face seems quite flushed. Is it too warm in here? Should I adjust the air conditioning?”

Su Qingya made no move to help Xu Nian. Instead, her eyes glinted with playful vengeance as she turned to her girlfriend.

“Nian, they’re asking you a question.”

“Gwah!”
