After the minor character transforms into a beauty, she steals the heart of a tycoon's son.

The other side of the lounge.

Ruan Tang placed the empty bowl on the coffee table, pursed her lips, stood up and straightened her skirt. "I'm going back."

She had barely taken half a step when her wrist was grabbed.

Si Lin grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. The girl lost her balance and fell sideways, landing right on his lap.

"What's the rush?" He put one arm around her waist, picked up a fruit candy from the coffee table with the other, unwrapped it, and put it to her lips.

Ruan Tang opened her mouth and put the candy in her mouth. It was sweet like strawberries, which diluted the bitterness of the medicine.

The little girl squinted her eyes happily and mumbled, "Strawberry."

He asked, "Is it good?"

She nodded.

Si Lin stared at her.

The girl sitting on his lap was small, with the hem of her school uniform skirt draped over his knees.

Those almond-shaped eyes were bright and sparkling; the way they looked with candy in their mouths was both adorable and endearing.

It's so captivating that you can't take your eyes off it.

Si Lin thought, this is his.

He lowered his head while still pinching her chin and took her chubby cheeks into his mouth.

The little girl made a soft "uh" sound when he kissed her, and instinctively tried to back away, but the back of her head bumped into his palm.

Si Lin's other hand was already waiting there, steadily supporting the back of her neck. His lips moved to her small mouth, and his tongue gently swept across her lips, tasting the sweetness of strawberries.

She turned her head away, hiding her face to the side, and said softly, "I haven't finished the candy yet."

"Let me taste it." His voice was low, and his lips followed, capturing her lower lip again.

The candy in her mouth was still slowly melting, and the sweetness of strawberries was exchanged between the two of them.

Si Lin's kiss this time was not rushed, but slow and deliberate, savoring the precious dessert.

The girl's waist went weak from his kisses, and her fingers gripped his shirt, creating several fine creases.

It took Si Lin a while to back away.

He had eaten all the candy from her lips, leaving them moist and even redder than before.

Ruan Tang slid off his lap, sat on the other side of the sofa, reached out and pulled Os's big head from the side of the sofa, and hugged it in her arms.

Si Lin has been bringing it around quite often lately, and the little girl has gradually become less afraid.

At this moment, her slender arms were wrapped around the white tiger's neck, and she buried her face in its fluffy fur, only revealing the tips of her red ears.

Si Lin leaned back on the sofa armrest, watching her ostrich-like behavior with a leisurely air.

Os didn't know what was happening, but he felt very comfortable being held by the fragrant human. He nuzzled his big head into her arms and enjoyed the sudden closeness from Little Lily of the Valley.

"What are you hiding from?" he asked.

"I didn't dodge." Her voice came muffledly from the back of Os's head.

"Then turn around."

"No, Os wants me to hold it."

When Os heard his name called, his ears perked up, and he let out a howl.

Si Lin reached out and patted Aus on the back of the neck. The white tiger turned around and glanced at its master, then turned back and rested its head on Ruan Tang's knees, showing no intention of moving away.

Si Lin didn't pull her back.

He crossed his long legs, propped his head up with one hand, and admired her shy expression as she held the tiger.

For the past two weeks, although she never took the initiative to get close to him, she didn't push him away either.

He kissed her, and she indulged him; he let go, and she pulled away.

Do not refuse, do not demand, do not question.

Si Lin felt very comfortable with this quiet and uninitiated behavior.

He doesn't like women clinging to him, doesn't like being asked for a title, and doesn't like being asked what our relationship is.

Ruan Tang fit the description perfectly. She never asked any questions, but simply drank her medicine obediently and let him kiss her.

That's good.

Si Lin considered herself to be in a superior position in this relationship, handling it with ease and knowing when to advance and retreat.

Kiss me if you want, tease me if you want.

He thought everything was under his control.

-

The next morning, when Ruan Tang arrived at the lounge, Si Lin was not there.

Her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and saw it was a message from him.

"Qin Zhou will be here soon. Cooperate with the doctor and do your examination properly. I'll come over as soon as I'm done."

She typed back, "Okay."

The message had just been sent when there was a knock on the door, and Qin Zhou walked in carrying a first-aid kit.

Today he wore a light gray shirt with a white lab coat over it, and frameless glasses perched on his nose, looking refined and clean-cut.

When Qin Zhou saw her, he paused for a moment. The first two times he came, this girl was nestled in Si Shao's arms, wrapped tightly in the blanket, only revealing half of her charming little face after the act, and her little hand resting in the man's palm.

Today, she sat alone on the sofa, wearing a neat school uniform on top and a dark blue pleated skirt on the bottom, obediently looking up at him.

The stark contrast, made even more apparent by the young girl's demeanor, made the previous two times seem even more decadent.

Qin Zhou suppressed the unbearable images in his mind and faced the normal Ruan Tang for the first time.

He has seen many beautiful women.

Wen's entertainment company has many top actresses who want to have a fling with Young Master Si, and the socialites and heiresses who come for a medical check-up are all exquisite.

But he still glanced at the face in front of him a few more times. It was truly beautiful without any special skills, pure and captivating.

And then there's her elegance. She sits there, her whole being delicate and fragile, naturally like a fragile white porcelain that needs to be cherished.

"Miss Ruan." Qin Zhou withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly.

"Hello, Dr. Qin." Ruan Tang's voice was sweet and clear, with a polite smile.

"I was so confused the last two times that I didn't have a chance to say hello."

"You're too kind." Qin Zhou walked to the coffee table, squatted down, and opened the first-aid kit.

He took out a blood pressure monitor. "Please roll up your sleeves."

She rolled up her sleeves twice, revealing a section of her fair and delicate forearm.

Qin Zhou's fingers inevitably touched her.

I secretly admired her skin; it was truly amazing. Only someone with exceptionally good natural features, coupled with the pampering that comes with money, could cultivate such flawless, porcelain-like skin.

After completing a few simple checks, Qin Zhou took out a lancet and test tubes from the medical kit. "Fingertip blood collection will hurt a little."

Ruan Tang extended her right hand.

Qin Zhou pinched her index finger, wiped the fingertip with a disinfectant cotton swab, and she turned her head slightly away.

She took a deep breath as the needle went in, but didn't pull her finger back, obediently letting him draw blood.

The cotton ball was pressed onto the fingertip to stop the bleeding.

Qin Zhou put away the test tubes, stood up and closed the medical kit. "The examination is complete. Your blood pressure and heart and lungs are normal. I'll take the blood sample back for testing, and I'll send the results to Young Master Si."

"Thank you, Dr. Qin." Ruan Tang was always well-behaved and polite in front of outsiders.

Qin Zhou nodded, and as he left, he deliberately turned around and slowly closed the door.

Inevitably, I saw her looking down with a frown, staring at the tiny needle mark on her fingertip, looking somewhat aggrieved.

A hint of a smile appeared in Qin Zhou's eyes.

It's kind of cute; it looks like it really hates getting shots.

They're just being polite in front of outsiders.

He recalled the scene from the last time he came, where Si Shao held her in his arms and kissed her forehead.

Only a top-tier conglomerate like the Si family could afford to raise such a delicate young lady.

Ordinary families might not be able to protect her privileged status and might even rudely suppress her.

Qin Zhou suppressed his smile, lowered his eyes, and gently closed the door.
