Yun Yun's pleading dispelled some of Hun Changqing's wicked thoughts about Nalan Yanran. She was only a beautiful woman, after all. With his strength, he could seize any woman, no matter how beautiful she was. There was no need to fixate on Nalan Yanran. He would consider it a concession to Yun Yun.

If he really intended to make a move on Nalan Yanran, he would tell her outright, and she would have no way to change his decision.
Since Hun Changqing had agreed, he clearly valued her and had taken her words to heart. A trace of happiness immediately welled up within Yun Yun. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his arm, drawing his hand against her chest.
