Chapter 514 He wasn't as magnanimous as he thought.
He began to take the initiative, returning her kisses deeply. He was no longer passively receiving her kisses, but rather, with all the love, longing, desire, and despair that had been building up for so long, he fiercely yet tenderly demanded and entangled her.

It was as if he wanted to convey all his emotions to her through this kiss.

The cool seawater could not lower the rapidly rising temperature. Inside the magnificent palace, only the mingling of breaths and the faint, blush-inducing sounds remained.

In a moment of confusion and infatuation, Jiaoyin pressed his forehead against hers, his dark red eyes gazing deeply into her hazy depths, and whispered in an extremely hoarse voice, as if making a vow:
“Wanwan… Regardless of whether you acknowledge it when you wake up tomorrow, and regardless of whether I can truly become your beast husband in the future… to have you at this moment, I, Jiaoyin… will have no regrets in this life.”

As the words fell, the final barrier was completely removed, and the rippling seawater gently enveloped the two people who were closely connected. The mother-of-pearl bed swayed gently, spreading out circles of ambiguous ripples...

After an unknown amount of time, Bai Wanwan's chaotic consciousness, like a sinking ship, slowly and laboriously rose from a warm yet disorienting deep sea.

A sharp headache and an unfamiliar aches and pains hit her first, causing her to furrow her brow uncomfortably.

She struggled to open her heavy eyelids; her vision was initially blurry, but gradually became focused.

The first thing that catches the eye is Jiaoyin's magnified, incomparably handsome face.

His icy blue eyes were brimming with intense adoration and tenderness after a moment of satisfaction, and he was gazing at her intently, as if he could never get enough of looking at her.

Seeing that she was awake, a happy and tender smile appeared on his lips. He couldn't help but lower his head again and gently kiss her forehead.

"Awake?" His voice was hoarse but full of tenderness.

Memories flooded back like fragments, those intense, chaotic images, interwoven with the effects of alcohol and passion, assaulting her mind.

Bai Wanwan was almost completely blank for a few seconds before she realized that what had just happened was not a dream.

My first instinct was to reach out and push him away.

However, as soon as she raised her hand, it was gently grasped by Jiaoyin's warm, large hand and enveloped in his palm.

His eyes were devout and tender. "Wanwan... I love you. Thank you... for accepting me."

His tone was filled with gratitude and appreciation for the treasure he had longed for, like a tiny needle unexpectedly piercing the softest spot in Bai Wanwan's heart.

Her hand, which was pushing him away, froze in mid-air, unable to muster any more strength.

Undeniably, she did have feelings for Jiaoyin. Although it began in chaos, her later infatuation... was not entirely forced.

Jiaoyin clearly didn't intend to give her much time to sort out her chaotic emotions.

He leaned down and kissed her again, his newfound tenderness and passion subtly eroding any remaining rationality or urge to question her...

Hua Han leaned against the cool, gorgeous coral wall, like a frozen statue.

The intermittent, suppressed yet undeniably passionate sounds emanating from the room were like dull knives, repeatedly cutting into his heart.

His face was pale, and his clenched fists were so tight that his fingernails were almost digging into his palms.

He was torn between his inner thoughts and his own conscience.

He knew that doing so was extremely risky and could very likely anger Wanwan, but he had clearly seen before that in Bai Wanwan's heart, Jiaoyin was obviously more important than himself.

That's why he took such a risky move and went to great lengths to "fulfill" Jiao Yin's kindness. In any case, he had repaid Jiao Yin's debt of gratitude.

Whether Wanwan accepts or rejects, they need to talk about it privately.

He hoped that Wanwan could accept Jiaoyin, so that he and Jiaoyin could form an alliance and protect Wanwan forever.

But... when he heard the sounds coming from inside, and heard that Wanwan didn't seem to resist, and even... a wave of indescribable bitterness and regret welled up in his heart, as if he had personally pushed away his most treasured possession. Jiaoyue had quietly slipped back sometime earlier. Listening to the sounds inside, her face couldn't hide her excitement and glee, but when she looked at Hua Han, a hint of guilt and gratitude crossed her face: "Thank you so much this time. You've helped my brother so much. From now on, you'll always be a valued guest of our Merfolk clan. If you need anything, our Merfolk clan will definitely do our utmost to help!"

Hua Han's mind was in turmoil, and she had no time to pay attention to her promises.

He only gave a perfunctory "hmm," his gaze still fixed on the tightly closed door, as if he could see right through it.

He had no idea when the bright moon left his side.

Just then, familiar footsteps sounded from the side; it was Yan Lie returning after settling the cubs.

Yan Lie saw Hua Han standing like a pillar at the entrance of Wanwan, her face unusually pale, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Hua Han? What are you doing standing here? Where is Wanwan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his keen hearing caught the faint, familiar sound coming from inside the door—a subtle sound that belonged to a woman aroused.

Yan Lie's expression was also not good. Even though they had been together for a long time, every time he heard her being intimate with other partners, his primal possessiveness and jealousy would still rise uncontrollably.

"Is... Zhu Xiu and the others back?" He subconsciously assumed that his partner, who had been away, had returned.

Hua Han's eyes flickered, and she gave a vague reply, deliberately avoiding Yan Lie's gaze.

Yan Lie frowned, took a deep look at the closed door, and ultimately said nothing. He turned away in frustration to find something else to distract himself.

The sounds inside were intermittent, and it was unclear how long they lasted.

For Hua Han, every minute and every second was torture.

He overestimated his ability to endure; he found it utterly unbearable to suffer the torture of having to push his loved one into the arms of another.

Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly raised his hand to knock on the door!

"Knock knock knock!"

The ambiguous sounds inside abruptly stopped.

Several seconds passed before Jiaoyin's hoarse voice, barely suppressed, rang out: "Wait...wait a minute!"

That cry of "Wait a minute" was like a knife twisting in Hua Han's heart, leaving her bleeding profusely!

He spoke through gritted teeth, his voice trembling with urgency he himself was unaware of: "Wanwan? Is she alright?"

Inside the room, Bai Wanwan, who was being gently kissed by Jiaoyin, clearly heard Hua Han's voice outside.

In an instant, some blurry fragments from last night flashed through my mind.

It was he who offered the drink, it was his gleaming gaze, it was his unusual attentiveness…

A chilling sense of being tricked instantly rose from the bottom of my heart, dispelling much of the confusion brought on by the emotions.

Her eyes turned cold.

"Ignore him." She heard her own calm, even slightly cold, voice ring out.

After saying that, she took the initiative to hook her arm around Jiao Yin's neck, who was a little stunned by the interruption, and tilted her head up to kiss him again, using her actions to stop him from responding to the door.
