Dong Yuner’s love for her was intensely passionate, to the point where, at this moment, she no longer hid it at all.
Lin Huanhuan firmly believed that if circumstances allowed, Yun’er would even use that fiery love to burn her to ashes, the two of them turning to cinders together, dying together to fulfill the vow of never being apart.
So, ordinary methods would certainly be useless.
But telling the truth was absolutely out of the question, for the same old helpless reason—the Heavenly Dao hung over her like the Sword of Damocles, threatening her in the most terrifying way.
Therefore, to get through this, she had to go beyond common sense and use different means.
Since Dong Yuner’s love for her was as hot as fire, she would use an affection as sticky and cold as water to smother the flames.
She would fire off a string of sweet words like a Peashooter’s bullets, first stunning Dong Yuner into confusion, then use the most sincere promises as the price, like forging a contract with the deepest demon of hell—only then could she find an opportunity to break the deadlock.
This was quite scummy, and perhaps not the best solution, but at least it was the best she could think of. Fortunately, the method she used succeeded.
Lin Huanhuan raised her hand and gently placed it on Dong Yuner’s head, lightly stroking back and forth like petting a cat, and the latter immediately tilted her head up, stretching her swan-like white and delicate neck, her pretty face full of pleasure, even nudging forward a little excitedly.
“Yun’er, I like you.”
Sitting on the soft bed, with a faint fragrance in the air, Lin Huanhuan said softly.
Dong Yuner, who had her head buried in her embrace, trembled again. Even though she had already heard it many times just now, hearing it again still brought a pleasure from the depths of her soul, as if it would overflow from her heart. Her heart felt like it was filled with honey, sweet and sticky, with thick love surging continuously.
“Miss, am I really not dreaming? If this is a dream, I’m really at a loss. I want to wake up and face the real you, but I also cling to everything here and can’t bear to lose it.”
She asked a little dazedly, truly unable to believe it.
Everything she had only dared to imagine in her dreams was now happening directly in reality, as beautiful as a dream, making her feel unreal.
Lin Huanhuan curled her lips lightly and gently pinched Dong Yuner’s cheek.
“Silly Yun’er, what’s so unbelievable about this? This is reality. If it weren’t reality, how could you have this kind of touch and warmth?”
Dong Yuner’s face was a little baby-fat, an oval face. Lin Huanhuan had just discovered that the feel was actually very nice; it seemed she could touch it more often, and playing with it would be nice too.
“So that’s how it is. It’s real after all.”
Dong Yuner said softly, changing her angle and reaching out to hug Lin Huanhuan’s arm, her soft chest pressing slightly against it.
“Even though I know Miss has a purpose in doing this, hearing these words still makes my heart so, so happy.”
“Even though I was content with how things were before, if I can get closer to Miss, I’m willing to do anything. Actually, Miss doesn’t need to specially coax me. As long as Miss is willing, I would already go through fire and water without hesitation. Miss knows that I simply can’t refuse Miss.”
She spoke slowly, and because of the emotional turmoil, her words were a bit unclear, but through the surface, the meaning was very clear.
Lin Huanhuan smiled helplessly, then used her hands to hold Dong Yuner’s face, facing her innocent and confused gaze, directly leaned forward a little, pressing her forehead against Yun’er’s.
“These are not words to coax you. Although there is indeed a reason for wanting you to stop investigating, you remember this: every word came from the bottom of my heart.”
“The reason I didn’t say it before is very simple—I felt a bit ashamed and embarrassed. But now, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about anymore.”
“In the future, I will say such things to you, and I will prove them with actions. You don’t need to say things like going through fire and water for me, because if such a thing is truly necessary, I will face it together with you, just as I said.”
The moment she finished, Dong Yuner’s eyes widened, her pupils shaking violently.
Her originally soft and delicate body collapsed into Lin Huanhuan’s arms like a pile of mud that lost its support, gasping heavily, with fine sweat on her forehead, as if she had just gone through a great battle.
After coming back to her senses, her little nose twitched slightly, then she sniffed the charming scent on Lin Huanhuan.
Lin Huanhuan felt a bit strange and very uncomfortable, even her body heating up slightly, but she still forcefully overcame the sensation and continued to gently stroke Dong Yuner’s head, letting her do what she wanted.
“Is this true?”
After a long while, Dong Yuner lifted her face and repeatedly confirmed. Lin Huanhuan replied calmly:
“Of course it’s true. I can’t lie to you about something like this.”
Dong Yuner nodded, then asked again:
“Then… about that matter, can you tell me? Even just a little hint, even a suggestion would be fine. That should be okay, right?”
“No.”
Lin Huanhuan gently shook her head, her will very firm.
“You should know that some things absolutely cannot be said. ‘It can be understood, but not expressed,’ you must have heard that, right? And this matter cannot even be understood. In fact, the fact that you guessed it already gives me enough trouble. If I reveal any more, I really don’t know what would happen.”
“I understand. I believe you, Miss.”
Dong Yuner was silent for a long time before nodding.
“Okay, then I won’t ask anymore. Miss can rest assured.”
Lin Huanhuan spoke with deep affection, and Dong Yuner lowered her head without a word.
Although Dong Yuner said this, Lin Huanhuan, who was very familiar with Dong Yuner, knew well that what Dong Yuner meant by “won’t ask anymore” was only that she wouldn’t ask out loud, not that she wouldn’t investigate in her own way.
Dong Yuner’s love for her would never allow her to remain indifferent after learning that Lin Huanhuan was in danger.
But just that was enough.
‘People cannot imagine things they have never seen. As long as I don’t tell her, Yun’er has almost no chance of guessing the truth. At most, she’ll think of inheritance or a mysterious person.’
The two of them stopped talking and hugged each other quietly, feeling each other’s body temperature. Just then, the door suddenly bang opened.
“Huanhuan, I heard you woke up. How do you feel—”
Bai Lingfeng, who had suddenly barged in, stared blankly at the scene before him.
