Listening to his words, Shi Ran, who had been resisting, froze.
Then she saw his gaze, burning with passion, murmuring, "Do you know why I brought you to the hidden clan?"
"Wh-why?"
"Because, I... I like you. I'm afraid you'll be tricked by that old fox Huo Xiaohua, and even more afraid you'll be taken away by that pretty boy Yuan Wei. It was you, you who broke into my heart, got into my bed, you... you have to take responsibility for this young master."
His actions hadn't stopped. Drunk, he poured out his 'deep' confession.
Of course, it might also be the truth coming out after drinking.
Shi Ran forgot to struggle, immersed in his words, her heart pounding wildly, a blush rising. "But... but, we... we can't. You have Zhao Wuyan, she's your fiancée."
"Me and Zhao Wuyan... it's impossible. We won't get married, the person I like... is you..."
Tang Si finished speaking, and once again leaned down to kiss her lips, his hands intertwined with hers.
"Tang Si, you... you're... drunk."
Shi Ran reminded him.
"I don't care, I only want you." With that, he became even more unrestrained.
Shi Ran's mind went blank. She wanted to resist, but the comfort her body felt made her fall into it.
While she told herself to be more sober, the affection she had for Tang Si occupied her reason, making her want to completely let loose just once.
Yes, how often in life could one be blissfully ignorant?
Shi Ran, just this once!
Only this once could she be so unrestrained!
In her heart, she admonished herself, then raised her arms to hug Tang Si's neck, changing from passive to active.
Then, in their silence, they coordinated their movements time and time again until they were finally satisfied, after which they slept embraced.
Shi Ran's heart continued to race, she was incredibly clear-headed.
She told herself that Tang Si was drunk, and when he woke up tomorrow, he would surely forget everything.
So she waited quietly, and only after hearing the steady breathing of the man beside her did she tiptoe to move Tang Si's arm away, slowly getting up, preparing to flee the 'scene of the crime'.
However, as soon as she got up, she was pulled back by Tang Si, who pinned her onto the bed. "You want to run after sleeping with me?"
Shi Ran's eyes widened instantly. "You, you... you weren't... weren't you drunk?"
The man's thin lips curled into a wicked smile. "I was drunk, but not to the point of being completely out of my mind."
If he had been utterly insensible, how could he have indulged in such intimate moments with her?
"You...!"
Shi Ran was both ashamed and angry, her face flushed, at a loss for words for a moment.
"What about me?"
Tang Si's long fingers hooked her chin, he leaned down and gently bit her lips. "Why don't you tell me about yourself."
"Tell you what?"
"Start from, from the first time you made a move on this young master. Did you already have feelings for me then, hmm?"
Back then, Tang Si had seen all of Shi Ran's reactions after she woke up, and he clearly saw the struggle in her eyes.
Until she changed from passive to active, and in her ethereal, intoxicating state, called out his name uncontrollably, Tang Si realized that this little fool also had feelings for him.
Shi Ran tilted her head, not daring to look directly at Tang Si. "No, I didn't."
The man smiled wickedly and leaned close to her ear. "Your honest body tells me you do."
"I..."
Shi Ran was speechless and turned to glare at Tang Si.
Their eyes met, and Tang Si clearly detected a flicker of anger in her gaze. She said irritably, "Yes, I do! But so what? You are the young master of the Tang family, you have a fiancée. Even if I like you, what good is it? Tang Si, I've tried my best to distance myself from you, to alienate you. But you insisted on bothering me, and even brought me to the hidden clan!"
