Should I... Lick It?

On the way back, Jiang Junyi opened the system panel to check how many Pure Love Points he had left.

Not bad. The number was very auspicious.

Pure Love Points: 1314

This was Jiang Junyi's first time breaking the 1,000-point mark in Pure Love Points.

It was mainly thanks to that indirect kiss.

He exchanged the entire Collection of Cheesy Love Lines and the Hormone Fruit, spending 60 Pure Love Points.

After the store was cleared out, it dimmed.

"What exactly is the mechanism for refreshing the store..." Jiang Junyi muttered softly.

This damned system's refresh mechanism was extremely strange. Much of the time, it seemed to generate things at random.

Jiang Junyi shook his head and stopped thinking about the store.

Right now, all he wanted was to snuggle up to Wan Qingyun. He had not even started replenishing his Qingyun energy for the day!

Meanwhile, after finishing her delicious wontons, Wan Qingyun began processing documents.

But as she worked... her mind kept wandering.

A certain figure always surfaced in her mind without her realizing it.

Wan Qingyun sighed softly.

Because she was blind, she had no idea what Jiang Junyi looked like. She could only construct a rough image of him in her mind based on his voice and actions.

But that image could only ever be an illusion.

After staring blankly into space for a while, Wan Qingyun quickly shook her head.

She needed to make herself stronger now and expand Black Palace's influence.

Wan Xiaoxiao's recent danger was proof enough. She needed sufficient strength.

With that thought, Wan Qingyun focused again.

"Baby Qingyun! I'm here!"

Jiang Junyi's sickeningly sweet form of address came from outside.

Wan Qingyun's expression softened slightly. She hurriedly tidied her hair and clothes, then returned to processing the documents.

She maintained an overall air of calmness.

Jiang Junyi pushed open the door and saw Wan Qingyun working at her desk.

Qingyun looked super pretty when she worked too!

He grinned and leaned in front of Wan Qingyun. "Any problems? I'm an expert at this stuff!"

Wan Qingyun turned toward Jiang Junyi and said coolly, "I'm not a rookie either. I haven't spent all these years studying for nothing."

"Wow! My Qingyun is amazing."

Wan Qingyun's lips twitched slightly at Jiang Junyi's exaggerated tone.

He was treating her like a child!

"Be quiet!" Wan Qingyun's tone became slightly firmer.

"!"

Jiang Junyi clutched his chest, looking heartbroken. "Y-you yelled at me! Boohoohoo."

Wan Qingyun:?

Why was this dead man so dramatic?

"I didn't... I just..."

"You did! You yelled at me!"

Wan Qingyun clenched her fists. They were hard now—her fists were hard.

She knew Jiang Junyi was pretending, but she also knew that if she did not offer a solution, this bastard could keep making a fuss forever.

So Wan Qingyun said gently, "I want you to be quiet. Can you do that?"

Jiang Junyi nodded in satisfaction. "That's more like it."

With that, he pulled over a chair and sat beside Wan Qingyun, having nothing to do.

Hearing that Jiang Junyi had stopped talking, Wan Qingyun let out a slight sigh of relief and resumed processing the documents.

Although he occasionally made small movements and noises beside her, those very sounds somehow made her feel at ease.

Then Jiang Junyi casually glanced over and spotted documents concerning Su Corporation.

He frowned slightly. Why did Qingyun have something related to Su Corporation?

Jiang Junyi took out his phone and sent Uncle Wu a message—

Jiang Junyi: Uncle Wu, why does Qingyun have something related to Su Corporation?

Uncle Wu: Young Master, among the ten percent of industries you entrusted, there are industries related to Su Corporation. It was random.

Jiang Junyi: Are they all there?

Uncle Wu: Basically, yes.

Jiang Junyi: I understand.

Putting down his phone, Jiang Junyi sighed almost imperceptibly.

Was this the power of world correction?

Of all the Jiang Family's assets, Su Corporation had happened to end up in Wan Qingyun's hands—and that was with only a ten percent chance!

So Jiang Junyi probed, "Qingyun, Su Corporation has risen rapidly in recent years. Can you get a handle on it?"

Wan Qingyun's hand paused as she flipped through the documents. After a brief silence, she said, "I can."

To Jiang Junyi, it sounded more like she was encouraging herself.

"Su Corporation's situation is somewhat complicated. If you run into any difficulties, you can come to me."

Wan Qingyun turned toward Jiang Junyi, just about to say something, when Jiang Junyi placed a finger on her lips. His gentle voice followed:

"You have to remember that you aren't alone anymore. You still have me."

"I will be your strongest support."

Without needing to look, Wan Qingyun could feel the emotion conveyed through Jiang Junyi's fingertip.

It was an unwavering choice.

In that instant, Jiang Junyi's tenderness nearly melted Wan Qingyun, body and soul.

Her distant-mountain brows and eyes softened in sweet affection at that moment.

But... although Jiang Junyi looked deeply moved right then, he was thinking something entirely different—

Ahhh! So soft, so moist! I successfully touched baby Qingyun's lips too!

As expected of me! I can seize even an opportunity like this with perfect precision!

"Okay, I understand."

Wan Qingyun spoke softly and did not move Jiang Junyi's finger away.

Feeling her orchid-scented breath, Jiang Junyi's fingertip went numb.

The sensation was like an electric current, flowing up his hand and into his heart.

Jiang Junyi moved his hand away. "Keep it up!"

"Mm!"

Wan Qingyun responded, secretly clenching her little hand beneath the table and making a small cheering gesture.

Little did she know that Jiang Junyi had seen it too. Intense affection flooded his eyes almost instantly.

How could she be so beautiful, so adorable?

Although the study had fallen quiet, Jiang Junyi's heart had not.

He stared fixedly at his right index finger, occasionally glancing at Wan Qingyun's full, delicate lips.

Should I... should I... lick it?

Jiang Junyi slowly leaned closer... then hurriedly pulled away.

No, no. A person can't... at the very least... I can't be this perverted...

Jiang Junyi pressed his tightly clenched left fist against his forehead, his expression full of struggle and conflict.

"Phew... phew..." He took deep breaths, trying to suppress the perverted thought.

But some thoughts, once they arose, were hard to get rid of.

Like when you felt that you absolutely had to take a look at the Japanese and Korean section today.

No! Not there!

Jiang Junyi forcibly grabbed his right hand as it moved closer and pushed it away.

He was fighting himself!

Wan Qingyun looked toward Jiang Junyi strangely and happened to meet his gaze.

Jiang Junyi's eyes drifted slightly downward, landing on those moist cherry lips.

Whatever! Just once!

"Slurp!"
