Before I could respond.

The old man said angrily, "Do you know how hard it is for me? I'm already so old, and I rely on selling the peaches from this orchard when they ripen."

You two young people, perfectly capable of anything, what are you doing wrong?

I'd rather be a thief!

While I was taking a nap, he entered my peach grove, intending to steal my peaches.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan and Lian Xing were both stunned.

They looked at each other and then burst out laughing.

So, the old man mistook them for peach thieves, which is why he scolded them, not for the reason they imagined.

Thinking of this, Chen Yanhao took out a ten-tael silver ingot and threw it at the old man, saying, "Is this enough for the two of us to eat our fill in your peach grove?"

The old man took the silver, his eyes gleaming.

Fearing it might be fake, he put it in his mouth and bit it, then grinned from ear to ear.

Ten taels of silver would be more than enough for him to eat and wear for two years...

He bowed repeatedly to Chen Yan, urging him and Lianxing to continue stealing peaches, while he stood guard outside the peach grove to prevent anyone from disturbing them...

Seeing the old man's arrogant demeanor followed by his obsequious attitude, Chen Yan and Lian Xing exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile.

then.

Lianxing naturally linked arms with Chen Yan, resting her head on his shoulder, the two of them close together as they walked into the peach grove…

Looking at the rows of peach trees and the abundant fruit hanging from the branches.

Lianxing blinked her bright eyes and suddenly said, "Chen Yan, do you want to eat peaches? I'll climb the tree and pick some for you."

Done.

Before Chen Yan could answer, he chose the largest peach tree, and with a light tap of his foot, he was already standing on the peach tree.

Chen Yan was a little confused, not understanding what Lianxing was up to this time.

Just as he was feeling somewhat puzzled.

Lianxing, who was standing on a peach tree branch, suddenly slipped and cried out in pain as she fell to the ground in a panic!

Faced with this sudden change.

In a split second, Chen Yan had no time to ponder why Lianxing, a Grandmaster, would slip off a peach tree—a completely illogical question…

As if by reflex, he flashed forward and caught Lianxing in a princess carry, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Chen Yan frowned, then gently scolded with affection, "How could you be so careless? You're such a grown-up, and you still fell down from a tree. Luckily I was there to catch you, otherwise..."

"It was because you were there that I deliberately fell down..."

Lianxing was being carried in Chen Yan's arms, her beautiful eyes fixed on him without blinking. Suddenly, she spoke, interrupting Chen Yan.

Chen Yan was taken aback.

Looking at Lianxing in his arms, he was puzzled.

Was she deliberately falling down because I was there?

What's the point?

Lianxing looked at his puzzled expression, her eyes suddenly reddened, and her gaze drifted as if she were reminiscing: "When I was a few years old, my sister and I climbed a peach tree. In order to compete for the biggest peach, she pushed me off the peach tree."

Actually, I don't blame my sister, because I know she didn't do it on purpose.

But because of this incident, I was left with a lifelong disability, which made me very self-conscious. I only dared to wear dresses with long sleeves and hems to cover up my physical defect...

This incident is my biggest nightmare. There have been many days and nights that have kept me tossing and turning, and I have been awakened by fear.

Therefore,

So, at that time, I made a vow in my heart that in the future, my beloved must catch me a hundred times if I accidentally fall from the peach tree, only then will I feel safe and completely entrust my heart and soul to him…

Talk about this.

There were already traces of tears in Lianxing's eyes.

Feeling pity for her, Chen Yan reached out and gently wiped away her tears.

Lianxing held his hand tightly as he wiped away her tears, then suddenly smiled brightly and said emotionally, "Chen Yan, thank you. You didn't disappoint me. You caught me the moment I fell from the peach tree."

I...I'm so grateful to you..."

Chen Yan smiled and said, "Since you want absolute security, then you can climb the peach tree ninety-nine times and fall ninety-nine times, and I will catch you ninety-nine times."

Lianxing did not answer at this moment.

She stretched out her snow-white arms, hooking them around Chen Yan's neck. Her face flushed, her eyes filled with affection, and she murmured, "Because I love you from the bottom of my heart, you only need to catch me once, and I'll feel 100% safe. I don't need it to be a hundred times..."

After speaking, she narrowed her starry eyes slightly, leaned back, and brought her exquisitely beautiful face close to Chen Yan's...

Instantly.

Chen Yan felt a faint, unique fragrance enter his nostrils. The beauty in his arms breathed sweetly, like a budding flower, so he no longer held back...

…………

evening.

After Chen Yan escorted Lianxing back to her house.

He then returned to the fortune-telling shop.

As soon as they entered, they were blocked by Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, Wuqing, and Wang Yuyan.

Seeing the burning curiosity in the four women's eyes, Chen Yan couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with you guys?"

"Shopkeeper, do we have another sister now? Um, no, do we have another older sister now?"

From now on, I, the eldest sister, will become the second eldest sister.

Wanwan's face was full of mischievousness.

After saying that, he walked over to Chen Yan and sniffed Chen Yan's body intensely.

After sniffing it, he showed an expression of "I knew it," with a hint of resentment, a hint of teasing, and a hint of mischief, and said, "It really does smell like a woman. This scent doesn't belong to any of the four of us."

Hey,

It seems I can only be the second eldest sister from now on.

Well, being the second sister is better, but nun, you'll be the third sister from now on, haha, that's hilarious..."

After Wanwan finished speaking, she burst into laughter.

Wuqing and Wang Yuyan couldn't help but smile.

Shi Feixuan remained calm and composed, showing no signs of distress.

She didn't take Wanwan's teasing too seriously, but just looked at Chen Yan with a smile: "Shopkeeper, you went out with Palace Master Lianxing today, right? It's time for Palace Master Yaoyue to take over tomorrow."

 (Good money) I wish you all the best and hope you win over the Palace Mistress of Yaoyue.

"It will also help me get rid of the label of 'mistress'..."

Chen Yan: "………………"

He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Lianxing was gentle and charming, and winning her over would be quite simple; everything would fall into place naturally.

But how to win over that cold, aloof woman, Yaoyue...?

Well, whenever the two of us meet, it's always tense and confrontational; we can't exchange more than three calm words.

Winning her over will be a bit difficult.

However, Yaoyue confessed her feelings to him in front of so many people, and even risked her life by standing against Di Shitian.

Faced with such deep affection, Chen Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go ahead, even if he didn't want to.

Besides,

Yaoyue is beautiful and noble, with a mature and hot figure, and she is deeply infatuated with him. Winning over such a woman may be difficult, but Chen Yan is not resistant to it. On the contrary, he is somewhat looking forward to it and longing for it...

Wanwan was about to interject and tease Chen Yan a bit.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and he exclaimed, "Oh no! Oh no! What if the shopkeeper and Palace Master Yaoyue become a couple tomorrow?"

"Then, if my ranking drops another place, won't I become the mistress?!"

Thinking of this, her face turned ashen, and she was extremely frustrated.

Just moments ago I was jokingly calling Shi Feixuan a mistress, but tomorrow I'll be the mistress myself. It's like being jolted awake from a deathbed, realizing that I'm the mistress...

Day two.

Urged on by Wanwan, Shi Feixuan, and others, Chen Yan, feeling a bit of a headache, went to the Tongfu Inn next door.

He couldn't figure out how to win over Yaoyue all night.

Went up to the second floor.
