"Stay here?"

Lin Fan was momentarily stunned upon hearing Mrs. Qiu's words.

Lin Fan had carefully observed the house after arriving at Qiu Ruohan's home. The place was quite small, with only two rooms—the mother's and Qiu Ruohan's. If Lin Fan were to stay the night here, there was a high chance he would be staying in Qiu Ruohan's private room.

Lin Fan couldn't help but glance at Qiu Ruohan. Qiu Ruohan had been sneaking glances at Lin Fan, and upon meeting his gaze, her pretty face turned bright red. She quickly lowered her head, much like a mouse caught stealing lamp oil.

Her two delicate fingers were tightly interlocked. It seemed that this girl had also realized the likelihood of sleeping with Lin Fan, and she was quite nervous about it!

"Let's wait for a bit longer. Maybe the rain will stop soon." Although Lin Fan was somewhat looking forward to staying, after today's events, Qiu Ruohan and her mother had been quite scared. Lin Fan didn't want to disturb them.

"The rain doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon. The old city's terrain is quite low, so the roads gather water quickly when it rains. Judging by the amount of rain, the road outside must have about half a meter of water, and Mr. Lin can't drive through it. Why not just spend the night here?"

Mrs. Qiu, completely unaware of what was going on between the two, spoke purely out of kindness. Seeing that Lin Fan said nothing, her wrinkled face showed a hint of concern: "Is it that Mr. Lin thinks the house is too dirty and is worried he won't sleep well?"

"How could that be? I'm quite easygoing; as long as there's a place to sleep, I'm good." Lin Fan quickly explained. What a joke; back when he went to war in Africa, Lin Fan even stayed in a bush.

Seeing Lin Fan wasn't bothered, Mrs. Qiu was relieved, saying, "That's good then. Tonight, Hanhan and I will sleep in one room, and Mr. Lin can stay in Hanhan's room."

"How could that be appropriate? Auntie's injured and needs proper rest!" Lin Fan said earnestly, looking every bit the gentleman.

"This..." Mrs. Qiu looked thoughtful.

"Mom! I should just sleep with Brother Lin..." Suddenly, Qiu Ruohan's soft voice, tinged with three parts shyness, came through.

Gasp~

Lin Fan suddenly froze!

He couldn't quite believe those words had come from Qiu Ruohan. Surprised, he glanced at the girl. After saying this, Qiu Ruohan buried her head deep in her chest, her pretty face so red it looked like it might start dripping blood. If there were a crack in the floor, she'd surely dive in without hesitation.

Mrs. Qiu gave Lin Fan and Qiu Ruohan a peculiar look. Then she recalled how Lin Fan had traveled from far away to help her, and suddenly, understanding dawned on her face. She gazed at Lin Fan lovingly, with a look somewhat like a mother-in-law admiring her son-in-law—finding him more appealing the more she looked.

"Right! Tonight Mr. Lin can sleep with Hanhan. You young folks should get to know each other better." Mrs. Qiu said with a kind smile.

Lin Fan looked awkward, unsure which aspect of "get to know each other" Mrs. Qiu meant.

"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about? It's late, I'll take Brother Lin to my room first." Qiu Ruohan stomped her foot in playful annoyance, dragging Lin Fan by the hand toward her bedroom.

Once inside the bedroom, being alone with Lin Fan made Qiu Ruohan's pretty face flush even more, her small chest thumping rapidly.

"Brother Lin, you wait here for a moment, I'll get you a new quilt!" With that, the girl hurriedly dashed out of her bedroom.

"Why is she so scared? Do I really look like a lecher?" Lin Fan awkwardly rubbed his nose, glancing around Qiu Ruohan's bedroom.

The decor of the bedroom matched her personality—lacking the opulent style of a rich girl's room. The room wasn't large; once a double bed and a wardrobe were placed inside, there was little space left. The wallpaper on the walls was yellowing, and the ceiling had just one energy-saving lamp.

Simple, even impoverished—this was the most genuine reflection of Qiu Ruohan's bedroom!

However, the room was filled with a faint fragrance, providing a unique touch. Lin Fan could recognize that it was the same scent as Qiu Ruohan's personal fragrance.

"Who would've thought this girl's scent is so pleasant, no less alluring than Su Yanyu's fragrance—also a true beauty, albeit born into a pitiable family."

Lin Fan smiled wryly, shaking his head, his gaze inadvertently landing on a sight that made his blood boil.

On the wardrobe hung a hanger, and on that hanger were two pink bras and panties. The back of the panties featured a SpongeBob SquarePants illustration.

"Who would've thought this girl likes such things! Seems her childlike innocence hasn't faded."

Lin Fan smiled knowingly. Just as he was about to take a closer look, he heard Qiu Ruohan's scream: "Brother Lin, this quilt is brand new, never been used... Ah! No looking..."

Qiu Ruohan walked into the room with a quilt. Seeing Lin Fan staring at her intimate clothes, her face immediately changed. She tossed the quilt onto the bed, rushed to the wardrobe, grabbed her undergarments, clutched them tightly behind her.

Her slender body pressed closely against the wardrobe, biting her lip hard, her fair neck flushed red. Her vulnerable expression stimulated a man's hormones like adrenaline.

Amusingly, Lin Fan said, "Who would've thought Sister Qiu likes such things. So cute!"

"Brother Lin... you can't tease me." Qiu Ruohan's voice was very soft; if you didn't listen carefully, you might miss it. She quickly opened the wardrobe and put her intimate clothes away.

Today, Qiu Ruohan had received quite a fright, so Lin Fan wasn't in the mood to tease her. "Where should I sleep?" he asked.

"Brother Lin, you sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor," Qiu Ruohan said earnestly.

"I can't let such a pretty girl sleep on the floor; I wouldn't feel right. You sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor."

As he spoke, Lin Fan made a simple bed on the floor, kicked off his shoes, and sat cross-legged on it.

Qiu Ruohan quickly grabbed Lin Fan's arm, trying to pull him up, stubbornly saying, "Brother Lin, I'm used to sleeping on the floor. Let me sleep there."

"It's still raining outside, the floor is so damp, and your body is already weak. You can't handle it, can you? You better sleep on the bed. Tomorrow is the opening of the beauty salon, and you're the big boss—indispensable. If you get sick, who'll host the opening ceremony?" Lin Fan persuaded.

Qiu Ruohan was silent, her pale hands clenching tightly together, torn in an inner struggle!

Rumble~

Suddenly, a deafening clap of thunder resounded, like a dragon in the sky, lighting up the room brightly.

"Ah~"

Qiu Ruohan suddenly screamed, her face white as a sheet, like a little rabbit terrified by an approaching wolf. In panic, she flung herself into Lin Fan's arms.

Oh~

Lin Fan only felt the impact of two plump peaks against his chest; the soft collision made him feel his blood boiling, the dormant beast within him slowly awakening, roaring in excitement!
