Chapter 02

“He’s definitely not here to…”

Xie Yurao let out a soft laugh and continued lazily, “You won’t cry if I step on your foot, right?”

“…N-no, I won’t.”

The boy looked like he wasn’t very good at teasing—easy to make blush. Xie Yurao wasn’t really interested in puppy-like guys anyway.

She liked men who were wild, overflowing with hormones, and indifferent toward her.

She stretched her long, fair arms, loosening muscles and bones that Tan Shen had spoiled into delicacy.

“I haven’t practiced much lately. I might step on you, so I’m warning you in advance.”

“We can start.”

Inside the dance studio, rhythmic music with heavy beats began to play.

Wearing an exceptionally alluring red dress and ten-centimeter heels, Xie Yurao entered the rhythm with the music. Her slender neck lifted elegantly, noble like a swan.

The swirling hem of her dress rippled like waves. Her long, fair, toned legs dazzled the eye. Her innate aura perfectly matched the nature of ballroom dance—

Noble. Bold. Unrestrained.

Jiang Mingci had danced with girls before.

But he had never been this nervous.

His hand lightly rested on her soft waist. Just that simple touch made his entire mind feel like it exploded into red-hot chaos.

He was done for.

It seemed like he suddenly… didn’t like fairies anymore.

The final song ended.

Xie Yurao was covered in a thin sheen of sweat, breathing softly as she stepped back and put some distance between them.

She didn’t really enjoy ballroom dancing—it was too exhausting. But her family had strict standards regarding posture and etiquette, so she practiced every so often.

“Sorry, I stepped on you once.”

Jiang Mingci lowered his eyes to her slightly flushed cheeks, dotted with tiny beads of sweat. Her long lashes were damp and beautiful.

“It’s… it’s okay. It didn’t hurt.”

Looking at the beauty before him, only four words came to mind:

A stunning temptation among mortals.

Just one afternoon of dancing together felt enough to steal his soul away.

Jiang Mingci thought he might finally understand what love at first sight meant.

Nervously, he clenched his hand. “Can I…”

Xie Yurao looked up at him. The boy praised as the campus heartthrob was handsome, and his nervous expression was surprisingly attractive.

She had always paid a little more attention to good-looking people.

“Can you what?”

Jiang Mingci said, “Can I add your WeCha—”

Knock knock—

The door to the dance studio was suddenly pushed open. The cold, stern man they had seen before appeared at the doorway, his tall figure almost blocking the view outside.

His indifferent gaze swept over the two of them before landing on Xie Yurao.

In a cool, emotionless tone, he ordered:

“Come out. Eat lychees.”

Jiang Mingci: “??”

Did this bodyguard really speak to the eldest Miss of the Xie family so arrogantly?

He didn’t know much about wealthy families, but with that attitude, wasn’t the bodyguard afraid of getting fired?

Especially since the Xie family’s eldest daughter was so proud and noble in perso—

“Tan Shen…”

Xie Yurao looked toward the handsome, cold man at the door and tilted her head slightly, blinking her moist, captivating fox-like eyes.

“I don’t have any strength left.”

Tan Shen looked at her with cold eyes and didn’t move.

Xie Yurao was used to his distant indifference, so she stretched out her soft, fair, enticing arms. Her tone lifted slightly at the end.

Like a cute little fox acting spoiled.

“Hug me~”

The story’s here—just writing casually, hope everyone enjoys reading!

Character setup: Glamorous, pampered, spoiled rich young lady × aloof, dominant, abstinent bodyguard “big boss”

The male lead is colder and stubborn in the early stages, but he absolutely dotes on her, with a hidden loyal-dog side.

Later comes the “chasing-wife crematorium” trope: wolf-dog transforms into loyal dog.
