"Fine, I won't explain anymore. It's my fault for not getting in touch with you in time. Are you happy now? But, didn't you realize that you are the only one who has my contact information?" Ye Xiao said seriously to Luo Xin.

As Luo Xin listened to Ye Xiao's words, especially the part about her being the only one who had his contact information, a sense of inexplicable joy surged in her heart.

"Are you serious?" Luo Xin looked at Ye Xiao, somewhat incredulously.

Ye Xiao suddenly said seriously, "You don't even have the slightest trust in me."

Upon seeing Ye Xiao turn serious suddenly, Luo Xin didn't know what to say, and since Ye Xiao's expression didn't seem like he was joking, she quickly said, "No, it's not that I don't trust you."

"You don't trust me, and yet I was the first one to give you my contact number." Ye Xiao looked away.

Luo Xin noticed that Ye Xiao seemed genuinely upset; her usual composure started to fail her.

"No, it's really not what you think," Luo Xin explained anxiously to Ye Xiao, but he seemed to be getting quite worked up.

"Isn't it? Hmph, what can you prove that you trust me? You don't trust me, and I don't trust you either," Ye Xiao said, his tone like that of a petulant child.

Luo Xin was troubled, after all, how could she prove it? Surely just talking won't do; it was evidently hard to prove.

Ye Xiao knew Luo Xin was having a hard time; he was actually doing it on purpose because he wanted to tease Luo Xin. Otherwise, how could he gain the upper hand? Luo Xin has come, and he didn't want to be controlled by anyone constantly; that would be utterly unpleasant.

Ye Xiao's plan was simple: to make Luo Xin not stay mad at him, and after pretending to be angry, he would quickly and magnanimously forgive Luo Xin. So, it's fair to say that Ye Xiao was quite cunning.

But how could the kind-hearted Luo Xin see through Ye Xiao's ulterior motives? Eventually, Luo Xin succumbed. The upper hand she had initially held had turned passive, and to make up for her mistake, she made a decision which she believed was absolutely right.

Luo Xin suddenly tiptoed and kissed Ye Xiao lightly on the left cheek—although it was just a fleeting touch, it was enough to send Ye Xiao into a spin.

After such a kiss, Luo Xin immediately felt rather shy and lowered her head.

Luo Xin thought Ye Xiao wouldn't say anything more, after all, it was a considerable sacrifice from her, but she forgot Ye Xiao's rogue nature.

"There's still the other half of the face," Ye Xiao responded, shrewd as ever.

Hearing this, Luo Xin got very angry.

It's one thing to be teased, but isn't an apology enough? Fine, there's no apology, but she had already kissed him once, right? This was in public, and for a girl to kiss a guy like that required a lot of courage. Yet this guy still wasn't satisfied, wanting the other half of his face kissed too.

"Ye Xiao..." Luo Xin was genuinely unable to suppress her anger any longer.

But at that moment, Ye Xiao took it even further, pulling Luo Xin close by her slim waist and said, "You kissed me, which means you took advantage of me. However, Ye Xiao is not someone who likes to be taken advantage of. What do you say now?"

"You... let go of me, Ye Xiao, there are people here," Luo Xin lost her composure and calm, now just a helpless woman unable to fend off Ye Xiao's assertive approach.

Ye Xiao seemed completely unconcerned with what Luo Xin was saying and instead cheekily responded, "You kissed me; shouldn't I kiss you back? You can't be so overbearing, allowing only officials to set fires and forbidding the common folk from lighting lamps."

Oh my goodness!

Hearing Ye Xiao's twisted logic, Luo Xin nearly broke down. Was this even a proper way to talk? It was clearly Luo Xin who had been taken advantage of, yet now it sounded as if Ye Xiao was the one greatly wronged.

However, at this moment, Luo Xin could not yell at Ye Xiao loudly. After all, there were already quite a few people around. Maybe it's because modern society is more open, with young men and women hugging and cuddling on the streets being a common sight. Onlookers just glanced and moved on. Yet, Luo Xin felt as if everyone was staring at them. If she raised her voice, and Ye Xiao blurted out that Luo Xin took advantage of him, how could she deal with that?

Though Luo Xin usually didn't care about gossip, after all, she was still a woman.

And knowing what kind of person Ye Xiao was, how could Luo Xin possibly feel assured?

"Alright, you've defeated me. Please, can you stop doing this in public? I'll do whatever you say from now on, is that okay?" Wang Luo Xin really didn't know what else to do at this point, Ye Xiao was no ordinary man; once he set his mind to something, he was capable of anything.

Wang Luo Xin knew she had to back down, after all, it was better to escape the predicament first.

"Deal with it however you want, but can you let go of me first while we're still out here on the street?" Wang Luo Xin said with a bitter face to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao then very seriously replied, "Since you're showing such sincerity, I shall show mercy."

After Ye Xiao let go of her, Wang Luo Xin immediately glared at him fiercely.

Seeing Wang Luo Xin glaring at him, Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "The look on your face is just like a pregnant woman who's been taken advantage of."

"What did you say?" Wang Luo Xin snapped angrily when she heard Ye Xiao call her a pregnant woman.

Realizing his mistake from Wang Luo Xin's expression, Ye Xiao quickly grinned and corrected himself, "Not a pregnant woman, a resentful woman."

"You're the resentful woman!" Wang Luo Xin shot back at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "Alright, pout like a butt!"

"What?" Wang Luo Xin didn't understand what Ye Xiao meant at first.

"Pouting is just sticking out your butt!" Ye Xiao chuckled as he explained.

"Ye Xiao, have you had enough fun yet?" Wang Luo Xin said, her face darkening.

Seeing that Wang Luo Xin might truly be getting angry now, Ye Xiao knew it was probably enough and chuckled, "Enough, enough, what, are you angry now? No wonder people say girls are quick to anger, it's really true. I thought Xin Xin was a very strong and different kind of woman."

"I... I'm not angry, hmph, I can tolerate much more," Wang Luo Xin said.

Ye Xiao responded, "I think it should be, Xin Xin can take care of Ye Xiao's son, though."

At that, Wang Luo Xin's face instantly turned blood-red.

Ye Xiao chuckled again, saying, "Alright, that's enough of the jokes. You probably haven't had breakfast yet, right? I just said I'd treat you to breakfast."

"Hmph, no need, I'm full of anger," Wang Luo Xin glared furiously at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Someone just said they weren't angry."

"You..." Wang Luo Xin pointed at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao chuckled again, saying, "Really angry now?"

"I'm not that petty." Even though Wang Luo Xin said this, her face was still flushed.

At that moment, the nearby passersby didn't pay much attention to Ye Xiao and Wang Luo Xin, but the other six members of Seven-Colored Lamp were watching the scene very clearly, or rather, they were dumbstruck.

Their big sister had always been very decisive and held absolute authority among the Seven-Colored Lamp, but who would have thought that their Sister Chi Yu would not only kiss Ye Xiao willingly but also cuddle affectionately with him?

They hadn't approached so naturally, they didn't know what had just happened between Ye Xiao and Wang Luo Xin, but all they saw was Ye Xiao holding their big sister for a long time without letting go.

"Sister and Brother Xiao really have a deep bond," the youngest Purple Flame said to her fellow Seven-Colored Lamp members watching from a distance.

No one disagreed with Purple Flame's words; on the contrary, they felt she had spoken very accurately.

"Could it be that Sister and Brother Xiao will get married soon? Does that mean we should start calling Brother Xiao our brother-in-law?" the slightly older Lan Xin asked curiously.
