A moment later.
Ma Xiaotao was the first to react.
She abruptly took several steps back.
The blush on her face, whether from embarrassment or something else, deepened even further.
She instinctively smoothed her slightly disheveled fiery red hair.
But then, Ma Xiaotao suddenly came to her senses.
Wait, why was she feeling guilty?
She was the rightful wife!
What was wrong with a kiss?
At that thought, her slightly bent back instantly straightened a little more.
The embarrassment from being bumped into vanished completely.
She even reached out casually and adjusted Long Yaochen's collar for him.
"We won't be seeing each other again for a while."
"I'll miss you."
As she spoke, she lightly tapped Long Yaochen's lips with a finger.
"You..."
Long Yaochen looked somewhat helpless.
Over the past few days, Ma Xiaotao seemed to have gotten a taste for it. Whenever she had the chance, she dragged him to Sea God Pavilion.
Especially before setting off today, she had specifically come over again.
Seriously...
He shook his head inwardly.
It was only lips for now. What would happen later?
"Take care on the road, and be extra careful with your mission."
Only after Long Yaochen finished speaking did Ma Xiaotao turn and leave in satisfaction.
However, when she passed Wang Dong'er, her steps paused slightly.
Her peach-pink eyes swept across Wang Dong'er's face.
The corners of her lips seemed to hold an unmistakably smug smile.
Then she raised her head, thrust out her impressive chest, and walked away without looking back.
Wang Dong'er: "???"
Somewhat unconvinced, she lowered her head to look at herself and instinctively puffed out her chest as well.
...Fine.
Though hers was not exactly small, compared to those towering peaks...
Damn it!
What exactly did that woman eat?!
No!
That wasn't the point!
