“Since you’ve provoked me, do you think it’s over just like that?” The man chuckled softly, his lips brushing against her delicate ear, and the hot breath he exhaled landed all over Shen Wan’s face. It carried a burning and sticky sensation, mixed with the lingering scent of smoke, instantly conjuring up all the memories in her mind about this man and that night.
The mysterious underground palace, the carved wooden bed of purple sandalwood, the off-white yellowed canopy, the hot spring pool steaming with heat…
A cool breeze brushed past…
Shen Wan hadn’t expected that the man she casually picked would turn out to be the renowned Sixth Lord Quan. She had naively thought that after the mountain resort, they would probably never see each other again. But the “Murphy’s Law” worked its magic, and the more she didn’t want something to happen, the more it happened.
“Sixth Uncle.” Shen Wan spun around, retracing her steps and stopping in front of him. She extended a finger to poke his chest, then her lips curled up, and her eyes arched. “You wouldn’t happen to… want me to take responsibility, would you?”
Quan Hanting’s breath hitched.
Take responsibility?
It sounded like a nice proposition, but the next moment—
“But I’m not interested in you, what should I do?” The disdainful words spilled from her rosy pink lips, blunt and hurtful, yet mixed with a hint of allure, like a seductive fairy in the night.
Quan Hanting’s face darkened, and he reduced the remaining distance between them to zero. A fragrance filled the air, a bewitching aroma.
“Say it again?!”
“Why bother?” Shen Wan raised her head, gazing into the depths of the man’s eyes. She knew she couldn’t break free, so she stopped wasting her energy. In Quan Hanting’s eyes, she appeared docile and obedient. However, the words that followed pushed his already calmed emotions back to the brink of anger.
“You’re a man, and for you, it’s a one-night stand with no consequences. You can move on without a care. But for a woman, her first time is genuinely significant. No matter how you see it, I’m the one at a loss, yet I didn’t demand anything from you. So, how can you force me to take the responsibility? Sixth Lord, you shouldn’t be acting promiscuous in this matter.”

“Well, I’m a person of great generosity, and 1 believe in repaying kindness. 1 appreciate your assistance that night. I don’t expect you to shoulder any responsibility, and there’s no need for compensation. You can regard the occasions when you pressured me to continue sleeping with you later on as covering medical costs, and you don’t even need to give me change.” In other words, I’m taking a step back here. If you continue to press the issue, it’s your loss of face.
Shen Wan was rational and clear-headed. She didn’t care about who she gave her first time to. She had many things to do and no time to get entangled with Quan Hanting in an idol-like romance drama.
Little did she know that her aloof demeanor and attempts to create distance with her words only served to further infuriate the man before her. “So, are you saying that regardless of who it was, that night, you would have been with him?”
Shen Wan looked puzzled, truly not understanding why this man was so worked up. “Before that, you were just a stranger to me!”
Unaware of her own wrongdoing, she boldly played it off.
Quan Hanting’s heart clenched, and in his anger, he blurted out, “Shameless!”
Shen Wan’s smile turned cold, and her gaze instantly froze. “Between purity and life, if I had to choose one, I’d rather be a whore than a ghost who died innocently.”
She had died once already, so she cherished her life even more. Forget about chastity; even if she had to lose an arm or a leg, she would prioritize her own survival. Only by staying alive could she do the things she wanted to do.
Shen Wan went on, “I don’t know what your motives are, and I don’t wish to pry. Surely, it can’t be that after one night, you’re so enamored with me that you want me to be your girlfriend or lover. Even in romance novels, they wouldn’t dare to craft such an overly dramatic storyline.”
Quan Hanting was left speechless.
“Let’s seize this chance to settle things once and for all, so we can avoid any potential complications in the future.” The woman was even more nonchalant than he had anticipated, bordering on indifference.
“In the future?” He raised an eyebrow.
Shen Wan nodded. “Yes, since you’ve appeared here, it proves you have a close connection with the Shen family. There’s no guarantee we won’t meet often in the future. So, it’s better to lay everything out now to avoid awkward situations later. After all, based on the hierarchy, I should address you as ‘Uncle’.”

“How do you feel about that?” The young girl tilted her head, smiled, and faced the night breeze. Her long hair flowed, and her dress swayed gently. Under the moonlight, she exuded a captivating aura.
Quan Hanting pulled her into his arms and clasped her tightly. “Not great.”
Shen Wan placed her hands against his chest in a defensive gesture and suppressed her smile. “What do you mean?”
“Remember to change your way of addressing me in the future.”
“Change it to what? Sixth Lord? Young Master Quan?”
A trace of annoyance crossed the man’s brow. “Whatever.”
“Oh, then ‘Uncle’ is more fitting.”

In reality, Quan Hanting didn’t know what kind of outcome he wanted, but that didn’t stop him from teasing the little creature in his arms. “How about another round with me?”
If other women had heard such a request with a hint of insult, they would probably have turned pale. But Shen Wan, on the contrary, looked at him with interest and playfully curled her lips.
“I’m just afraid that Uncle might not be able to handle it..”
