Qin Mengyao didn't know Ye Fan was there. She just wanted to have a heart-to-heart with Tantai Wanrong, to tell her trusted aunt about her own matters.

Tantai Wanrong said, "Yaoyao, you're still young, you need to establish a correct view on love. Ye Fan already has other women, even if something happens between you two, it can't be wholehearted..."

When she said these words, Tantai Wanrong couldn't even convince herself, because not long ago, she was even more resolute than Qin Mengyao. Yet now, that person was standing behind her, making her feel a formless pressure.

"But... I have already done that to him." Qin Mengyao slightly raised her head, looking at Tantai Wanrong with sincere eyes. "He didn't push me away at the time, so I thought he accepted me. I was very earnest then, but maybe I was just foolish, missing the chance he gave me. But when a boy accepts a girl doing that, doesn't it mean he has already accepted me?"

Hearing this, Tantai Wanrong couldn't help but want to pinch Ye Fan. If you wanted to refuse, you should have refused, but instead, you gave Qin Mengyao an illusion, letting her think you accepted her – you're harming my little niece.

"Yaoyao, next time I see him, I'll ask him well for you, to see if he intends to bully you, and watch how your aunt handles him." Tantai Wanrong embraced her little niece in her arms. "If anyone dares to bully my Yaoyao, I definitely won't let them off."

"Aunt, please don't make things difficult for Brother Fan. Actually, he is the best person I've ever met. I don't blame him, I blame myself, blame myself for not being as beautiful as Sister Zhao Jun, or as gentle. I'll strive to be a gentle and lovely girl, and when I see him again, maybe I'll give him a different feeling, maybe then he'll accept me."

Qin Mengyao spoke, as if she were envisioning a life together with Ye Fan.

Tantai Wanrong reached out, stretched back, and pinched Ye Fan's waist hard, as if to say, "For bullying my little niece, this is your deserved punishment."

"Yaoyao, go to sleep. Aunt will stay with you." Tantai Wanrong's voice was very gentle.

"Okay. Aunt, you should sleep too." Qin Mengyao's voice gradually lowered as she finally fell into a deep sleep.

Perhaps because she was too tired, Qin Mengyao quickly entered into a deep slumber. Tantai Wanrong slowly released her hold on her little niece, then turned over and got up, leaving her wooden clogs outside as she had to walk barefoot with Ye Fan out of the bedroom and into the living room.

At this moment, all the lights in the living room were off, only the moon outside was still bright. But Tantai Wanrong was no longer as passionate as before; she seemed to have calmed down, and it was Qin Mengyao who made her calm.

"Aunt Rong..."

Ye Fan was about to say something, but Tantai Wanrong covered his mouth with her finger, pulling him to the kitchen, closing the door, and then turning on the light.

Tantai Wanrong had a somewhat helpless expression on her face and said, "Xiaofan, you heard what Yaoyao said just now. What exactly are you thinking?"

Ye Fan spread his hands and said, "I just consider her as a little sister."

"Since you consider her as a little sister, why would you accept her doing... that in the car?" Tantai Wanrong was somewhat reluctant to mention it.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Do what?"

"Xiaofan, I'm talking seriously. Do you think Yaoyao didn't tell me? She made it clear when she came back. I really don't understand your heart. If you wanted to reject her, you should have just rejected her outright. She'll be heartbroken for a few days, and later on, when someone treats her well, she'll forget about you. But you insisted on doing that, how can she ever forget you now?" Tantai Wanrong reproached.

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Aunt Rong is right. At that time, I think I was a bit confused myself, not knowing what to do."

"You still dare to say it. Zhao Jun already told me before, saying that your body was affected by the Desire Pill, so sometimes it's hard for you to control... Actually, it doesn't matter if something happens between you and Han Qing'er, because there's never been any feelings between you two, and it wouldn't affect you and Zhao Jun. But with Yaoyao... you know our relationship is very complicated..."

Tantai Wanrong's heart was also very conflicted at this moment.

On one side was Ye Fan, on the other was Qin Mengyao. Caught in the middle, she didn't know what to say, but she herself had unsolvable feelings for Ye Fan. If she had to choose, she would rather let Qin Mengyao and Ye Fan sever ties, so even if she gave herself to Ye Fan, she wouldn't carry such a heavy burden in her heart.

"Aunt Rong, rest assured." Ye Fan smiled and said, "No matter how Yaoyao feels, at least until she graduates from university, I won't let anything happen. Consider it my promise to you, alright?"

Tantai Wanrong rolled her eyes at Ye Fan and said, "What promise are you making to me? I'm not your anything... Mmm..."

Previously it was Tantai Wanrong who took the initiative, but this time it was Ye Fan. The two of them kissed.

Fuming, Tantai Wanrong hit Ye Fan with her hand, but gradually she closed her eyes, getting lost within, and soon even responded eagerly.

Unfortunately, Ye Fan knew the boundaries well. What he did felt more like a farewell kiss with Tantai Wanrong, and after their lips parted, even Tantai Wanrong was left flustered, lowering her head and saying, "Xiaofan, I told you, if you don't want to leave, then tonight... stay, we can go to Yaoyao's room, and you can... do as you please..."

"No need." Ye Fan gently hugged Tantai Wanrong. "Aunt Rong, you're tired too, rest early. Actually, my heart is also very conflicted, not knowing how to face you. Because my heart is tied to so many things, perhaps I can bear the responsibility to protect and care for you, but my heart can never fully belong to you. This, for you, for our feelings, isn't a good deed, is it?"

Tantai Wanrong hit Ye Fan once more and said, "You brat, your words are getting deeper. Do you really think Aunt wants to marry you? Aunt just wants to leave the best of herself with you, so that when beauty fades with age, there would still be beautiful memories left with you."

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Don't you think tonight isn't the suitable time to do such a thing, Aunt Rong?"

"Bleh, once you pass this village, there won't be this shop. In the future, if you want it again, I won't give it to you. Xiaofan, are you planning to leave?" Tantai Wanrong said with a smile, but suddenly became melancholic.

"Yeah." Ye Fan nodded.

"Then... be careful. You're not the same as you were before. Back then, even when carrying out dangerous missions, Aunt believed you had the ability to protect yourself. But now it's different. If you meet those cultivation masters, the difference in strength can't be made up by your wit and courage. You must remember that there are many people who care for you, so don't act recklessly." Tantai Wanrong's eyes were a bit teary as she spoke.

Meetings are brief. Once Ye Fan leaves, who knows how long it will be until they meet again, making Tantai Wanrong feel very sad.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Aunt Rong underestimates me. With my current strength, there's no one on Earth who can harm me. Aunt Rong shouldn't train for now either, in case you fall into demonic influence. You must wait until I return, and we'll train together..."

"Stupid Xiaofan, who wants to train with you." Tantai Wanrong's cheeks flushed red, like a young girl experiencing the throes of love, shy and bright.
