Chapter 566 Only children make choices

"Hmph. You're so sweet-talking, all you say are empty words." Shi Meitong scolded playfully, but her eyes were full of laughter. Chen Xuan took the opportunity to step forward and gently put his arm around her waist. This time, Shi Meitong did not dodge, but lowered her head slightly, her blush becoming more and more obvious.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Young Master Chen Xuan?" Yun Ziling's voice came from inside.

The two cut each other at lightning speed, and Shi Meitong's eyes showed a hint of panic.

Before she could say anything, Chen Xuan spoke first, whispering in her ear:

"Don't panic, sister. I'll deal with her. You wait here for me." After saying that, Chen Xuan gently released Shi Meitong, straightened his clothes, and walked quickly towards the door.

"I'm here. What's wrong, Miss Yun?"

"Actually, it's nothing! I just..." Yun Ziling hesitated, unable to give a clear answer.

"Alright, I'm right here. You don't need to look for me anymore. But now that I'm with him, there's nothing more to say. We should go back." Shi Meitong's voice came from behind Chen Xuan.

Yun Ziling's actions instantly brought her to her senses.

There were still people outside the door, so it wasn't convenient for her. She had to wait until it was convenient for her to go.

When is the most convenient time? Of course, it's the most convenient time! (Just kidding!)

"Oh dear, this is nothing! Why don't you two sit here a little longer?" Chen Xuan saw that the duck in his mouth was about to fly away, so he immediately stepped forward to persuade them to stay.

"OK……"

"What's so good about it, Yun Ziling? You need to know your place first. How can you spend so much time in other men's courtyards like this..."

When Shi Meitong saw that Yun Ziling wanted to stay, she immediately became unhappy.

"I... alright! I just wanted to properly thank Young Master Chen Xuan, that's all!"

"Hmph, you don't mean anything by it? Do you think I'm blind?"

"Oh, well... goodbye, Brother Chen Xuan!" Yun Ziling pouted and finally left. However, as Shi Meitong left, a strange light flickered in her eyes.

As time passed, the sky outside gradually darkened. Chen Xuan sat in the house in the small courtyard, the candlelight burning, making the room appear even more dim and ambiguous.

Night fell quietly, and the entire venue was enveloped in moonlight, as if draped in a layer of silver gauze.

After carefully dressing up, Shi Meitong stepped into Chen Xuan's courtyard again with a mix of trepidation and anticipation.

At this moment, Chen Xuan, dressed in a moon-white robe, stood tall and straight in front of the window, the moonlight shining on him and outlining his perfect figure.

Hearing footsteps, Chen Xuan slowly turned around, a gentle smile on his face.

Shi Meitong wore a deep purple dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps like flowing darkness, as if a subtle fragrance was emanating from it.

A matching silk sash was tied around her waist, tightly binding her slender waist and further accentuating her graceful figure.

At the neckline, a ring of pure white down gently clung to her skin, making her neck appear even longer and her skin as white as snow.

Her hair was carefully styled into a bun, with a few stray strands falling beside her fair cheeks, adding to her charm.

The pearl earrings hanging from both sides swayed gently with her movements, making a crisp and pleasant sound that made Chen Xuan's mouth water.

Looking at her meticulously groomed face, her eyebrows were as slender as distant mountains, and a small beauty mark with gold powder adorned the slightly upturned corners of her eyes, making her gaze even more captivating.

Her cherry-like lips were painted with vibrant lip gloss, like a blooming rose, delicate and luscious.

Most importantly, I don't know how she found out, but she was wearing a pair of semi-transparent lace gloves, which subtly revealed her slender fingers, and the nail polish on her fingertips was as bright as cinnabar.

A beauty mark under her eye, lace-trimmed, sheer gauze gloves—every step Shi Meitong took landed precisely on Chen Xuan's heart.

At this moment, the beautiful woman stood quietly at the door, the moonlight shining on her, as if gilding her with a holy glow. She looked like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting, so beautiful that no one could look away.

"You little rascal, why are you standing there so still? What are you daydreaming about?"

Shi Meitong parted her lips slightly, her eyes filled with both shyness and anticipation as she quietly gazed at the figure in the moon-white robe by the window, a surge of indescribable emotions welling up within her.

"Ahem, I just realized how beautiful you are, sister. I've been waiting for so long, and you've finally arrived," Chen Xuan said softly, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of excitement.

Shi Meitong blushed slightly and said reproachfully, "You...you're so good at talking. I've been waiting for so long, you have to give me a satisfactory answer."

"no problem."

Chen Xuan stepped forward, gently took Shi Meitong's hand, and led her inside to sit down. He then slowly sat down beside her, cupped her face in his hands, and gazed deeply into her eyes.

However, Shi Meitong was not buying it and pressed Chen Xuan for an answer.

Chen Xuan looked at the woman who was so easily within his grasp, his gaze lingering in her eyes, a smile playing on his lips, and said softly:

"Sister, you know, when it comes to choosing between two options... only children make choices. An adult's choice is, I want them all!"

"I can't bear to part with your charm and elegance, but I also can't bear to part with your innocent and carefree nature. You both hold an irreplaceable place in my heart."

Upon hearing this, Shi Meitong was stunned for a moment.

Then, her face instantly turned gloomy, her beautiful eyes widened, and she directly took off her light gauze gloves, her eyes filled with anger and disbelief.

"Chen Xuan, what do you take me for? Do you think I'm a fool?"

She forcefully broke free from Chen Xuan's hands that were cupping her face, and stood up abruptly: "I had actually placed my hopes on you, but it turns out you're just a fickle scoundrel!" With that, she turned and walked towards the door, her steps hurried and angry.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Xuan was backed by Yu Guili and the Ning family, she might have been tempted to give him a good beating.

After all, I am completely innocent... I haven't died, and I finally mustered up the courage to come here, only to be met with this answer instead of finding anything!

As she walked and pondered, she couldn't help but feel ridiculous for actually having such fantasies about Chen Xuan...

But since Chen Xuan had given this answer, he could naturally predict Shi Meitong's next move.

With lightning speed, he stepped forward and precisely grabbed Shi Meitong's wrist.

"Sister, don't rush off. Let me finish what I have to say before you make a decision, okay?"

Shi Meitong turned around, glaring angrily: "Hmph, you lecherous rogue, what else do you have to say? Your words are an insult to me!"

Chen Xuan gripped her wrist tightly, increasing the pressure slightly, but not enough to hurt her.

"Sister, I know this might make you angry at first, but you know my feelings for you have never been fake. ( ) is innocent and kind, while you are mature and charming. The two of you give me completely different feelings. My love for you runs deep in my bones. I left ( ) with me just so we could protect her and not let her suffer. But in my heart, you are always the one I care about the most."

Shi Meitong bit her lower lip, tears welling in her eyes, her anger and grievances mingling within her: "Do you think I'd believe your nonsense? You just want to have two women on each side and enjoy the best of both worlds!"

Chen Xuan sighed softly, pulled Shi Meitong closer to him, and gently stroked her back with his other hand, his movements tender and soothing.
