"Why are you... here? And on top of that... crawling into my bed!?"

Ye Huan's face darkened like a passing storm, and he asked through gritted teeth.

"I... I..."

Qin Ya's eyes darted around nervously, looking extremely guilty, while a mix of embarrassment and anger simmered inside her.

All her life, she hadn't felt anything for any man, thinking she was the type who was indifferent to romance, prepared to spend her life alone, and naturally, she never gave any man the chance to get close.

Today, she mustered up the courage for the first time to crawl into a man's bed, even voluntarily, but being caught off guard like this left her embarrassed and furious.

"..."

The two of them remained silent, staring at each other.

Qin Ya's face was getting redder and redder.

Ye Huan's face grew darker, his mind churning like a rushing river of Divine Beasts.

This world is so dangerous. Such an outstanding guy like myself is always on women's minds, and if I let my guard down, I could be taken advantage of!

It's outrageous!

Crawling into bed in the middle of the night, without giving me any mental preparation?

"..."

They remained silent for more than five minutes.

In the end, it was Qin Ya who took a deep breath and broke the silence.

"Ye Huan, I think..." Qin Ya's face flushed red to her ears, and she said, "I think you're a pretty decent person, apart from being a bit of a lecher. You're loyal, emotional, and, um... quite good-looking. Your medical skills are top-notch, and your strength is unmatched. When we were in Celestial Sea, you went against the crowd to help me with those major surgeries, ultimately pulling me back from the brink of death. When I was 'on the run' in the Capital City, it was you who saved me from danger and placed me in Tingxiang Pavilion. I can say you're a fairly decent man..."

"Just say what you need to say."

Even with Ye Huan's thick skin, being praised like this made him blush a little.

Plus, he heard the implication in Qin Ya's words, prompting him to interrupt and urge her to speak straightforwardly.

Qin Ya bit her lip, her face boiling hot, hesitantly stammering, "I... I... I want..."

"I want to give us a try!" Qin Ya closed her eyes and shouted.

Ye Huan: "..."

He was taken aback.

Crawling into bed in the middle of the night, and then saying to give it a try?

Try what?

All adults know what that means!

Since when did Qin Ya become so casual!?

Ye Huan internally complained but then put on a genuine and sincere face, saying, "Qin Ya, men and women should observe decorum. As a girl, you should be reserved..."

"I'm not talking about trying 'that,' I'm talking about trying a relationship!" Qin Ya, blushing, interrupted Ye Huan, realizing he misunderstood.

"A relationship?" Ye Huan almost dropped his jaw in shock. "Are you serious?"

"I... I'm serious, I'm serious."

Qin Ya, feeling quite embarrassed, spoke much quieter, her face slightly lowered.

This decision was made after much consideration and deliberation.

Since she was young, she's always been strong, excelling in academics and sports, far surpassing all the boys in her school.

Even at the Celestial Sea Police Academy, it was the same, with her performance far exceeding all the other male classmates in her year.

Upon graduation, she even graduated as the top martial artist of the police academy.

With her looks, great figure, excellent grades, and a father who was the police chief of Celestial Sea City,

she wasn't just attractive, but also talented and from a good family.

Someone like her was the dream girl of countless male classmates.

Countless male classmates tried to pursue her and win her heart, but all failed.

The reason was quite simple.

Qin Ya believed that men should be a woman's support, providing them with a strong sense of security.

Yet, these male classmates, whether in academics, physical abilities, or martial arts, couldn't compare to her, so how could they be her support and provide her with security?

In her mind, a man who could conquer her and win her heart must be stronger than her, and much stronger at that!

Ye Huan clearly fell into that category!

His abilities were unmatched!

In a single punch, he defeated the seventh elder of the Dragon Gate Outer Sect—Huang Panyi!

His medical skills were unparalleled!

A world-renowned cardiologist—Rochester—was his disciple!

Moreover, he indeed gave people a sense of security!

The more Qin Ya thought about it, the more she just wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Even so, she had to admit that when she was cornered by Nan Zhan and his son and over 700 members of the Nan Family, feeling helpless enough to cry,

she didn't know why, but at the moment Ye Huan appeared, she realized not only had her helplessness vanished but she also felt a comforting sense of security.

This feeling of security was something she had never experienced from a man before.

That's why she decided not to just play pretend with Ye Huan!

She wanted to seriously develop a relationship!

"Qin Ya, you..."

After being stunned for a long time, Ye Huan spoke again, with a serious expression, "Are you having a fever?"

"What are you talking about? You're the one with a fever!"

"I'm perfectly fine!"

"Just to let you know, I only think you're somewhat decent, maybe not too bad, so I decided to seriously develop a relationship with you."

Qin Ya snorted, her eyes drifting around, feeling very embarrassed.

Ye Huan twitched at the corner of his mouth, "I'm not that great, and yet you decided to develop a relationship with me?"

"Well... maybe you're not that bad."

"There's a little bit of greatness..."

"No, just a little bit of not being that bad..."

"No, you're just really bad!"

Qin Ya, too shy to compliment Ye Huan any further, blushing and her heart racing, crossed her arms but turned her head to look away, saying, "Anyway, don't ask too much; just tell me, do you want to give it a try with me?"

Ye Huan was speechless.

To think this arrogant and prideful trait would appear in this violent policewoman?

He sighed and said, "You want to have a relationship with me, not just because you think I'm 'bad,' right? Go ahead and tell me."

Qin Ya hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, there's another reason."

At this point, she paused, her voice much softer, "If we really end up together, and our relationship goes well, wouldn't you help me block the Nan-Qin marriage alliance? But if we're really not suitable and can't be together, I absolutely won't do what I did before, that was my mistake."

"So, your previous thought was to pretend to be a fake couple or fake spouse with me. After all, as the heir of both the Ye and Li families, the Nan Family and Qin Family wouldn't dare to fall out with me and would have to accept my relationship with you, canceling the Nan-Qin marriage alliance. Even if I refused, you'd reveal yourself to signal to the Nan Family that you're living with me, making them assume they've been cuckolded by me. They would inevitably turn their attention to me, causing me trouble, and even though I'm passive, I would still have to stand up to deal with the Nan Family, indirectly helping you solve the marriage alliance issue."

"But now, you've realized your mistake and also recognized my qualities, so you're thinking of turning this 'pretend' into reality and seriously considering a relationship with me. If we really end up together, then I would indeed have the obligation to help you block the marriage alliance. If we truly don't suit each other, you've recognized your previous mistake and won't burden me with this problem again."

"Am I right?"

Ye Huan blinked and asked.

Qin Ya stuck out her little tongue, feeling extremely embarrassed, nodded her head.

"Sorry, I refuse."
