Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

"Really? You can't lie to me!"

Meng Hongchen's beautiful eyes remained fixed on Ye Chen, unwilling to look away.

"Of course~"

Ye Chen smiled and placed one hand on Meng Hongchen's slender waist, gently squeezing it.

Meng Hongchen blushed even more at his little gesture, but didn't investigate further.

Instead, she subconsciously moved closer to Ye Chen.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she noticed that Ye Chen seemed to look better, and he smelled better too.

Meng Hongchen picked up her chopsticks, took out a beautifully arranged crystal shrimp dumpling, and naturally offered it to Ye Chen's lips: "Here~ try this, it's a specialty of Mingdu, it's so fresh."

Seeing her expectant eyes, Ye Chen smiled and opened his mouth to take it.

The savory flavor of the shrimp dumplings melts in your mouth, and even sweeter is the sweetness of the young girl's heart.

He also picked up a delicate osmanthus cake and brought it to Meng Hongchen's lips: "You eat some too."

The two of them fed each other bites, their eyes meeting, their affection overflowing.

The small private room was filled with a sweet atmosphere.

Ye Chen's hands were also restless, occasionally gently pinching Meng Hongchen's delicate cheeks, feeling her smooth and supple skin.

He would occasionally brush the strands of hair that fell beside her ear, tucking them behind her ear, his fingertips intentionally or unintentionally brushing against her sensitive earlobe.

More often than not, his arm would naturally encircle her shoulder, allowing her to comfortably lean against him.

His fingers gently caressed her rounded shoulders through the thin fabric of her clothes.

Meng Hongchen's heart pounded and her body felt slightly hot as Ye Chen's little gestures teased her, but she thoroughly enjoyed this intimacy.

With a blush, she quietly shared with Ye Chen the interesting things that happened in Mingdu after their separation, the new research of Mingde Hall, and the revelation of Xiao Hongchen's unknown secrets, which broadened Ye Chen's horizons a little.

"correct."

Meng Hongchen suddenly remembered something, sat up slightly from Ye Chen's arms, and said with a sly smile, "My grandfather seems to be in a bad mood lately, always with a stern face. But that's good, he probably won't have time to bother with me."

Her grandfather often acted this way, most likely because he encountered difficulties in his research.

However, this also created opportunities for her and Ye Chen to date, reducing the chances of them being discovered.

"Hehe, that's good~"

Ye Chen said this aloud, but he was secretly laughing to himself.

Jing Hongchen's mood is probably even worse now.

……

at the same time.

Next door, Jing Hongchen clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, clearly furious.

Meng Hongchen was never like this before.

Until she met Ye Chen, Meng Hongchen completely sided with Ye Chen.

He was certain that this kid named Ye Chen must have done something to it!
Thinking of this, the killing intent in Jing Hongchen's eyes grew even stronger.

……

……

An hour passed.

Ye Chen noticed that in the next private room, Jing Hongchen's anger was almost uncontrollable.

He feared that if things continued, Jing Hongchen would disregard Meng Hongchen's feelings and forcefully break in to deal with him.

So Ye Chen decided to find an opportunity to send Meng Hongchen home.

However, before Ye Chen could speak, Meng Hongchen, who was leaning against Ye Chen, suddenly moved closer and pressed her face against Ye Chen's cheek.

Her red lips parted slightly, exhaling warm breath, carrying a hint of sweetness, brushing against Ye Chen's ear.

"Ye Chen... after dinner, shall we go... go to a hotel? I know a very quiet and nice one..."

Meng Hongchen's voice was low, carrying a hint of shyness and a bolder seduction.

As she spoke, she snuggled closer to Ye Chen, her soft body conveying a strong sense of innuendo.

Clearly, Meng Hongchen was somewhat nostalgic for the time she spent with Ye Chen at the hotel last time.

At that time, she was still very shy and dared not be too bold.

Now, she has come to understand her own heart, and if the time is right, then...

Just as Meng Hongchen was lost in her fantasies, Ye Chen flatly refused.

"no!"

Ye Chen refused decisively and righteously.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but the moment Meng Hongchen uttered those words, Jing Hongchen's aura was already somewhat uncontrollable.

Ye Chen feared that if he didn't refuse, Jing Hongchen might just pull out a level nine soul-guided cannon and kill him together.

Meng Hongchen, that girl, really dares to say anything...

"Ah...why..."

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen was completely stunned.

Suddenly, a strange sense of grievance overwhelmed her.

Meng Hongchen pouted, and tears welled up in her big eyes, making her look pitiful.

Clearly, Ye Chen's resolute rejection broke her heart instantly.

"I came to the Sun Moon Empire on important business, and I only took some time to be with you today, so I can't take up too much time." Ye Chen gently cupped Meng Hongchen's cheeks, wiping away her tears, and his tone softened.

Ye Chen pinched her cheek and comforted her, "How about this, tomorrow, I'll be free all day tomorrow, I'll spend the whole day with you, we can go wherever you want, okay? I promise to make it up to you."

"Really?"

Meng Hongchen's eyes lit up again, but there was still a hint of suspicion in them, obviously afraid that Ye Chen would break his promise.

"Of course, I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

Ye Chen smiled and assured him.

Meng Hongchen was slightly relieved, but still a little upset. She turned her head slightly, pouted, and said, "Then... then take me back, it's on the way anyway."

She wanted to spend as much time as possible with Ye Chen.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen's lips twitched again.

Sending her back would be like walking right into the line of fire...

Jing Hongchen is probably squatting next door right now.

Ye Chen sighed and shook his head, feigning concern, "No, no, this is Mingdu. Who knows if your grandfather has someone secretly protecting you? If someone sees me with you, you might be grounded again."

"Hmm... okay..."

Upon hearing this, Meng Hongchen seemed to agree with Ye Chen's words and abandoned her plan.

After all, if she were to be discovered, not only would she be grounded, but Ye Chenyue would also be in danger.

It's better to do it secretly.

Well, it would be best to completely solidify her relationship with Ye Chen, so that even if her grandfather found out, it would be too late.

Meng Hongchen thought to herself, "I must take Ye Chen to the hotel tomorrow!"
"Mmm, Xiaomeng is such a good girl~"

Ye Chen pulled Meng Hongchen to the door and stole a kiss on her rosy cheek.

"Hmph~ You big bad guy~"

Meng Hongchen covered the spot where she had been kissed and glared at Ye Chen reproachfully.

But her eyes were full of sweetness, and she turned and left the private room.

……

……

Meng Hongchen's figure disappeared at the door of the private room, her footsteps fading into the distance.

The faint fragrance of her body still lingered in the private room.

Just as Ye Chen was about to close the door, at that moment...

"boom--"

An obese figure forced his way into Ye Chen's room.

The other person was dressed in an extremely luxurious dark red robe, the fabric shimmering with the sheen of silk under the light.

The robe was meticulously inlaid with various gemstones, and gold thread outlined intricate patterns, highlighting the owner's unparalleled noble status.

It was none other than Jing Hongchen, the head of the Mingde Hall of the Sun Moon Empire and a ninth-level Soul Master!
