After her dramatic cousin stopped acting up, the aloof doctor got anxious.

Shen Ruo was trying on the lace nightgown.

The black lace nightgown clung to her body like a second skin. She turned to the side, the hem of the skirt only covering half of her buttocks, the lines of her upper thighs faintly visible, making her blush even when she looked at herself.

She twirled in front of the mirror, her skirt billowing up and then falling back down.

At that moment, the phone screen lit up.

She picked up her phone and looked at it.

News about Qi Wenshen.

[Open the door.]

Open the door?

Now?

She was wearing a nightgown that barely covered her private parts and was so revealing it made one want to call the police.

Shen Ruo quickly replied: 【Let's talk tomorrow, it's not convenient now.】

My aunt's room is at the other end of the corridor; it wouldn't be good if she saw me.

Qi Wenshen: [If you don't open the door, I'll knock.]

This man is threatening her?

Shen Ruo stared at the message, her eyes darting around, and suddenly a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

An opportunity that comes knocking on your door is too good to pass up.

She put down her phone, stood in front of the mirror again, and carefully examined herself.

Black lace draped over her exquisite figure, a deep V-neck revealing her collarbone and the curves of her chest, the hem of her skirt barely covering her hips, her eyes slightly upturned, her lips moist and luscious—a rare beauty in the world.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Shen Ruo sighed, "Even monks would have to renounce their vows if they saw me."

She turned around and pulled the sheep-themed pajamas from the bed onto her body.

Pleasant Goat's smiling face was positioned right in front of her chest, but the curve of her skin was faintly visible through the V-neck, making it even more alluring than if it were completely exposed.

In the hallway outside the door, Qi Wenshen was holding his phone, about to send another message urging her to open the door.

The door opened.

Shen Ruo's face peeked out from the crack in the door, only her head showing.

She beckoned to him, "Come in quickly."

Qi Wenshen felt a lump in his throat looking at her furtive, dog-like appearance.

So what if Mom saw it? It's not like she broke any laws.

My cousin is a distant relative, not a close one, so it's perfectly normal for her to be dating.

The two people are of similar age, single, like each other, and it's consensual. Which one of them is unreasonable?

Is it really necessary to be so secretive?

He didn't know why this girl was hiding it, but he didn't want to dwell on it now.

Because the door was already open, she was right in front of him. Although only her face was visible, it was enough to make him unable to look away.

Qi Wenshen pushed open the door and went in.

The moment he entered, Shen Ruo quickly closed the door.

She turned around, leaned against the door, and looked up at him.

Pleasant Goat's pajamas were draped open over her body, revealing a black lace camisole underneath—very little fabric.

Qi Wenshen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Shen Ruo was actually quite unaccustomed to it as well.

She instinctively covered her chest, her fingers gripping the collar of Pleasant Goat's pajamas, pulling it up again and again. After a couple of tries, she realized that the more she pulled, the more obvious it became, so she simply stopped pulling it up, reached out and fanned her face, pretending to be very hot.

"Well... the Pleasant Goat pajamas were too thick and a bit hot, so I changed into a thinner one."

Shen Ruo's voice was dry and her gaze was unfocused; she dared not look at him.

Qi Wenshen looked at her.

Are Pleasant Goat's pajamas thick?

It's all translucent, so it's not thick at all.

He didn't expose her.

His gaze moved down from her face and landed on the open neckline of Pleasant Goat's pajamas.

The edges of the black lace were faintly visible, fitting perfectly at the fullest part of her chest, covering only half of it.

The raised curves, set against the black lace, appeared milky white, rising and falling gently with her breath, like two mountain peaks half-hidden by clouds, making one want to part the clouds and see what lay beneath.

The skirt was only long enough to cover half of her buttocks; an inch below the top of her thighs was the forbidden zone.

She turned slightly to the side, her skirt swaying slightly, revealing glimpses of the girl's secret garden beneath the black lace, driving one to madden with desire.

Shen Ruo noticed that his gaze lingered there.

Instead of backing down, she smiled.

She swayed her hips and took a step closer to him.

Pleasant Goat's pajamas slipped down her shoulder a little, but she didn't pull them up.

A thin black lace camisole peeked out, draped over her rounded shoulder, seemingly about to slip off but never quite falling.

Her voice was sweet and soft, with a slight rise at the end, carrying a charming and alluring quality, "Cousin, what brings you here so late?"

Qi Wenshen steadied himself.

His Adam's apple bobbed, but his voice remained steady.

I've enabled in-person payment for you.

Shen Ruo paused for a moment.

Intimate payment?

"Why did you set up personal payment for me?"

Her voice returned to its normal tone.

Qi Wenshen did not answer.

He took a step forward and put his arm around her waist.

The moment his palm touched her, his fingers brushed against the smooth skin on her side.

Beneath the black lace was nothing; his fingers touched her skin directly, the delicate, silky touch traveling from his fingertips to his heart, and his breathing became heavier.

He tightened his grip and pulled her closer to him.

"You are the closest person to me."

He lowered his head, his lips brushing against her earlobe.

Fireworks were going off in Shen Ruo's heart.

A sly smile surfaced in his eyes.

She looked up at Qi Wenshen, her eyes blinking, and asked, "How intimate?"

Qi Wenshen gently stroked her waist with his fingers, suppressing the urge to use force.

We are now in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

His gaze was fixed on her eyes, giving her no room to look away. "From now on, we'll be husband and wife."

Shen Ruoxin missed a beat.

Marital relationship?

She lowered her eyes, concealing the turmoil within them.

Then she asked a question that Qi Wenshen hadn't expected.

"What if we break up in the future?"

If things continue as the plot goes, her supporting role has deviated slightly from the expected path.

She was supposed to be just like in the original book, causing all sorts of trouble, and in the end, she was brutally tortured by Qi Wenshen and the white moonlight heroine.

But so far, she hasn't done anything wrong, hasn't framed anyone, and hasn't even had a direct confrontation with the white moonlight heroine.

What if Qi Wenshen falls in love with his white moonlight at first sight, just like in the original story?

What if they get together? The money she's spending now...

Do I need to pay back the money I spent on Intimate Payment?

Shen Ruo's eyes darted around before she asked the very practical question, "Do I need to pay back the money I spent?"

Qi Wenshen looked at the woman in his arms and felt both angry and amused.

His hand slid from her waist to her back, his palm pressed against her bare back, and he pulled her closer to him.

The last bit of distance between them disappeared, the black lace clung to his shirt, and their body heat radiated through each other, burning hot.

"We won't separate."

He looked down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and gently warned, "I can afford to support you no matter how much you spend. You don't need to pay it back, and you're not allowed to leave."

Looking at his handsome face so close to hers, and at the unwavering certainty in his eyes, Shen Ruo felt her heart racing.

She recalled the plot of the original book.
