Just as Liu Yunxi was about to say something, Liu Ergou reached out, pulled her into the yard, and quickly shut the front door.

Held in Liu Ergou's arms, Liu Yunxi's cheeks flushed red as she complained softly, "Er Gou, isn't this a little much? It's broad daylight."

"What if someone sees us?"

Hearing her, Liu Ergou put on a righteously indignant expression. "What's wrong with daytime? Besides, you're my girlfriend. Why would I be afraid of people seeing? I, Liu Ergou, have a clear conscience!"

Liu Yunxi rolled her eyes at his words. "You're such a smooth talker!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou chuckled, then swept Liu Yunxi up in a princess carry and headed toward his room. As he walked, he asked, "Yun Xi, why the sudden visit? Is something wrong?"

Hearing his question, Liu Yunxi rolled her eyes dramatically.

"Do I need a reason to see you?" Liu Yunxi retorted. "Can't I just come looking for you for no reason at all?"

"Hmph!" Liu Yunxi let out a delicate huff, tilting her chin up to reveal the elegant curve of her neck.

The sight made Liu Ergou swallow hard.

At this moment, Liu Ergou couldn't hold back any longer. He quickened his pace, taking large strides, and went straight into his room. He then tossed Liu Yunxi onto the bed and pounced on top of her. The next second, she was pinned beneath him.

Looking up at Liu Ergou's face, Liu Yunxi's own face immediately turned as red as an apple.

"Er Gou, what are you doing?" she stammered. "It's the middle of the day! Don't you dare try anything… Besides, your sister-in-law is home! What if she…"

Before Liu Yunxi could finish, Liu Ergou leaned down and silenced her with a kiss, cutting off the rest of her words.

A long moment passed before they finally separated. Liu Ergou only lifted his head reluctantly when Liu Yunxi began to struggle for breath.

Then he said, "So what? I'll say it again: you're my girlfriend. What does it matter if it's daytime? Besides, my sister-in-law is home. We just have to be quiet, and she won't find out."

With that, Liu Ergou chuckled mischievously.

Seeing him like this, Liu Yunxi knew there was no escaping today. She let out a soft sigh and fell silent.

However, the way her hands nervously clutched the hem of her clothes betrayed her. She couldn't have been more tense.

Liu Ergou was no fool; he naturally noticed her nervousness. He comforted her softly, "It's okay, Yun Xi. Don't be afraid. It'll be just like last time. What's there to be scared of?"

Hearing him say that, Liu Yunxi couldn't take it anymore and buried her face in his chest.

"Oh, you're impossible!" she mumbled. "How can this be the same as last time? We were in a hotel then! This is your house! And your sister-in-law is right next door… What if… she hears…"

Liu Ergou cut her off before she could finish. "Alright, you don't need to say it again. If you keep worrying about it, you're going to make sure we get caught!"

With that, Liu Ergou stopped being gentle and lowered his head once more. Liu Yunxi, for her part, cooperated by closing her eyes, her mind involuntarily drifting back to what happened in the hotel.

Just as their lips were about to meet, a sudden ringtone shattered the moment.

Hearing the ring, Liu Ergou instinctively asked, "Yun Xi, is that your phone?"

Liu Yunxi shook her head. "Not mine. I didn't even bring it with me today. It must be yours."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou quickly fumbled in his pocket and pulled out his phone. Sure enough, it was his phone that was ringing.

Liu Ergou frowned at his phone, anger welling up inside him. Who on earth is this clueless, calling at the most crucial moment? This is infuriating. Just wait until I find out who it is…

He looked down at the screen. At the same time, a curious Liu Yunxi also peeked over.

When their eyes landed on the screen, both of them froze. The caller ID prominently displayed two words: Zhang Man!

Staring at the phone, Liu Ergou stammered awkwardly, "Ahem, that… uh… let's just ignore it and continue. We shouldn't let this interrupt us, right?"

He moved to decline the call, but Liu Yunxi grabbed his hand. Her voice was dripping with irritation. "Well, aren't you something, Liu Ergou?"

"You meet Zhang Man once and you already have her number. You're quite the operator! Is your next step to break up with me and make her your new girlfriend? Tsk, tsk… impressive, Er Gou."

Listening to Liu Yunxi's biting sarcasm, Liu Ergou felt a wave of embarrassment so intense he wished he could crawl into a hole and disappear. His head was buzzing.

If I'd known this was going to happen, I never would have saved her number in the first place! My God, this is just too awkward!

But the awkwardness lasted only a second before Liu Ergou's mind cleared. Wait a minute… I'm treating her grandfather. Isn't it perfectly normal for me to have her phone number?

With this realization, Liu Ergou began to explain, "Yun Xi, listen to me! It's not what you think. There's a reason she has my number. Her grandfather isn't well, so…"

Before he could finish, Liu Yunxi's mocking voice cut him off again. "Oh, her grandfather, you say?"

"Impressive, Er Gou. I really underestimated you. It's only been a few days, and you've already met the family? And you went straight to the grandfather! Give it another couple of days and will you two be engaged? And I'll just be the other woman, is that it?"

Although her tone was sarcastic, Liu Ergou could clearly hear the anger simmering beneath it.

Not daring to delay, Liu Ergou frantically explained, "No, Yun Xi, you've got it all wrong! It's really not what you think!"

Before he could explain further, the phone stopped ringing, only to start up again immediately. Watching the insistent ringing, Liu Ergou reached out to hang up.
