Chapter 46 Temptation

After Xia Tian and Sun Xinxin left the police station, they didn't go straight to the flower shop but returned to Scholarly Residence first.

Sun Xinxin hadn't had a bath last night; her body was sticky and made her feel uncomfortable. So upon returning home, she went straight into the bathroom. Xia Tian, on the other hand, hardly sweated even in such hot weather so not having a bath didn’t bother him much.

Xia Tian turned on the TV and continued watching his favorite advertisements. When one channel finished airing ads, he would switch to another, only to quickly become frustrated as it seemed that all channels had agreed to air their commercials simultaneously and then start broadcasting dramas at the same time too.

"They must have made a pact to broadcast these shows together!" Xia Tian felt annoyed. If he ever met those who aired the dramas, he would definitely beat them up.

While muttering about this, the bathroom door opened and Xia Tian naturally looked over. His eyes instantly widened in surprise.

Sun Xinxin stood at the doorway like a lotus emerging from water. Her wet hair was draped messily on her bare shoulders, adding an extra layer of allure to her appearance. However, it wasn't just that which made Xia Tian stare; rather it was the nightgown she wore. Sun Xinxin was wearing the very thin and transparent nightgown again!

Her chest prominently protruded, with hints of rosy red nipples barely visible beneath the sheer fabric. Her fair skin and perfect curves made her body seem completely exposed before Xia Tian's eyes despite being clothed—this half-revealing look was even more alluring than total nudity.

Sun Xinxin, already sexy and enchanting in herself, wearing this semi-transparent nightgown turned her into an unparalleled beauty that could make any man lose himself. As a young and lusty man like Xia Tian faced such allure, he naturally couldn't resist; for a moment, his eyes remained fixed on Sun Xinxin while a scorching flame surged from his lower abdomen.

Feeling the intense gaze from Xia Tian, Sun Xinxin's pretty face flushed red. Yet instead of rushing back into her bedroom to hide as she might have expected, she actually moved closer toward him with a soft voice tinged with flirtation and asked, "Do I look good"

"You look great, really great!" Xia Tian swallowed hard. Although Goddess Immortal was more beautiful and had a better figure, she would never dress like this in front of him; such an occurrence was new to Xia Tian.

"Then can I wear it for you often" As Sun Xinxin spoke, her pretty face blushed even redder, almost as if drops of water were about to fall from them.

"Alright, of course!" Xia Tian nodded subconsciously.

"I'll show you later tonight," Sun Xinxin smiled flirtatiously and turned to go into the bedroom. When she came out again, however, she was wearing a plain dress.

"Why didn't you stay in that outfit longer" Xia Tian sounded somewhat disappointed.

"I'm going to cook now!" Sun Xinxin smiled charmingly but inwardly thought that if she had stayed in the revealing outfit any longer, she probably would have lost her virginity.

As for what happened last night, Sun Xinxin was actually rather vague on many of the details. She only knew from Cold Ice that the three people who kidnapped her were already dead and that the mastermind behind it all, Gao Mingyang, was in a coma at the hospital. The scene where she had smashed things up at Night Beauty last night felt like a dream to her; she even doubted whether she really did such a thing. However, whenever she recalled this scene, she felt both excited and exhilarated.

She didn't want to delve into those details but felt that she should thank Xia Tian somehow. That's why she had used the special method earlier, yet also didn’t want to lose her virginity for real; she did not wish Xia Tian to think of her as an easy woman. She had heard it said that the easier a man gets a woman, the less he will cherish her.

Xinxin Flower Shop.

"Fatty, do you think Xia Tian and Xinxin姐 might have run into trouble" Fang XiaoRu sounded worried as it was already noon but neither of them had appeared yet.

"What kind of trouble could they possibly get into" Wang Jie dismissed the idea with a wave of his hand. "Fang XiaoRu, stop worrying yourself sick."

"Yesterday Dr. Liu said that Xia Tian offended Gao Mingyang and today neither of them have shown up or picked up their phones; don't you think there's something wrong" Fang XiaoRu protested.

"Do you know what 'love after infidelity' means, Fang XiaoRu" Wang Jie’s smile was somewhat mocking.

"I only know that it's not a compliment!" Fang XiaoRu retorted irritably.

"If you don't believe me, go to my sister-in-law's place right now; I guarantee they haven't woken up yet." Wang Jie said confidently. But as soon as he finished speaking, he froze for a moment and then chuckled awkwardly, "Oh, looks like I underestimated Big Brother’s resilience. He and his wife are already awake."

Fang Xiaoru gave Wang Jie a disdainful look: "I thought you were quite something!"

Within her line of sight, a man and a woman were walking hand in hand towards them; the man was unremarkable while the woman was as beautiful as a flower. It could be described as another version of a rose planted on cow dung—none other than Xia Jia and Sun Xinxin.

"Big Brother, take care of yourself!" As soon as they entered the florist’s shop, Wang Jie greeted them with an insidious smile.

"I’ve always been in good health!" Xia Jia glared at Wang Jie.

“Hey, Miss Sun, I heard that doing certain things too often can be detrimental to a woman's health,” Fang Xiaoru whispered.

Sun Xinxin blushed and said, “What nonsense is this girl talking Something happened last night and we were locked up in the police station. We just got out!”

“Uh, Big Brother, you're back in jail again” Wang Jie was taken aback. "Is this your third time"

"Miss Sun, is everything alright" Fang Xiaoru asked with concern.

"Everything’s fine now. By the way, haven’t you delivered the flowers to Dr. Liu today" Sun Xinxin asked.

“That's why I’m waiting for Xia Jia to deliver them,” Fang Xiaoru said with a cheerful smile.

“Oh, then let me go and deliver them now.” Xia Jia was quite willing to do it.

"Wait a moment, let's call Dr. Liu first to see if she is still at the hospital, so we don't make a trip in vain." Sun Xinxin said.

“Alright, I’ll ask.” Just as Fang Xiaoru was about to dial, something occurred to her: "Oh, Senior Sister Xin, why did you and Xia Tian turn off your phones during summer"

"I dropped mine." Sun Xinxin replied; she had indeed dropped her phone. After being kidnapped the previous night, it went missing somewhere.

“Mine wasn’t turned off.” Summer was puzzled because he didn't remember turning his phone off.

He took out his phone from his pocket to have a look and discovered that it really was turned off.

"Oh no, is my phone broken Why did it shut down automatically" Summer felt depressed; how could Qiao Xiao give him a defective phone

Sun Xinxin took the phone to check: "It’s not broken. It just ran out of battery, so you need to charge it."

“How do I charge it” Summer found that he didn’t have the technical know-how.

After a while, with Sun Xinxin's help, Summer managed to turn his phone on and started charging it. As soon as the phone was turned back on, the message notification sound kept ringing, and he received over ten messages at once.

The sender of all these messages was the same person: Liu Yunman.

“Honey, you have a missed call….” Before Summer could read through his messages, his phone rang; it was none other than Liu Yunman calling him again.

"Xia Tian, why is your phone always turned off" The moment she answered the phone, Liu Yunman’s anxious voice came from the other end: "I thought something happened to you!"

"Um, Miss Yunman, my phone is out of power."

Qian Yunman was a bit unhappy: "Can't you just change the battery Where are you now I'll come find you!"

"I'm at the flower shop," Xia Tian reported his location and thought to himself that he really couldn’t change batteries.

Right after hanging up, Fang Xiaoru complained: "What's going on Doctor Qian’s phone is always busy."

"Don't bother calling. She'll be here soon," Xia Tian said casually.

Fang Xiaoru was surprised: "How do you know"

“She just called me,” Xia Tian explained.

“No wonder it’s always busy, she must have been calling you!” Fang Xiaoru was upset.

"Sis Xinxin, where are the flowers I’ll give them to Yunman Sis later," Xia Tian said casually.

The bouquet of sweet pea and white lilies hadn’t yet been wrapped up. Sun Xinxin and Fang Xiaoru quickly went to wrap it up, while they were still wrapping the flowers, Qian Yunman’s car had already pulled in.

Qian Yunman's car was a silver Hyundai Elantra worth less than 100 thousand yuan. As soon as she opened the car door and got out, she saw a beautiful bouquet of sweet pea and white lilies.

"Miss Yunman, for you," Xia Tian said with a grin.

Yan Yunman felt both exasperated and amused; she had been worried about him for a long time, yet he still found the energy to play this kind of game. However, she didn't refuse and accepted the flowers.

What Yan Yunman did not know was that these flowers were actually meant for her, as Xia Tian never mentioned who sent them.

Fang Xiru gritted her teeth in frustration; this guy was too shameless to use someone else's flowers to court a girl!

"Now I understand why an expert martial artist like Brother Number One would settle for being a lowly flower courier!" Wang Jie exclaimed with admiration. "It turns out that he has always known about the natural advantage of using one’s position as a flower courier to meet beautiful women! To deliver flowers meant to others and court other people's girls—that is truly delightful indeed!"

"Get in the car, I'll take you somewhere," Yan Yunman said to Xia Tian.

"Yunman姐, I can't leave right now," Xia Tian hesitated.

"Why not" Yan Yunman was displeased. "Don’t you want to treat our family members anymore"

"Yunman姐, it's not like that. If I leave, Xīn姐might be in danger," Xia Tian said softly. "That guy Gao Renxuan might send people after me; if I just left, he could find Xīn姐."

"What!" Yan Yunman was alarmed. "What's going on My police friend told me that it was the mayor himself who ordered your release! Why would he still want to cause trouble for you"

"Releasing me from detention is precisely so that he can more easily make trouble for me!" Xia Tian explained. "In the police station, it's not easy for him to act."

Yan Yunman’s expression changed instantly: "Xia Tian, if this is the case, then you have to come with me!"everything from last night is taken care of, no need to worry anymore.""Got it, Big Sister," the chubby man nodded. Without asking for details, he could guess that the duel likely had already happened...
