Nie Yan simply chuckled. He didn't appear perturbed by Qin Han's words at all.
Learning Nie Yan was Nirvana Flame, the male students who also happened to play Conviction grew much more cordial. With Xie Yao's presence, the female students didn't dare to do anything out of line. Nevertheless, many still approached him to strike up a conversation.
Nie Yan occasionally spotted some hints of bitterness in Jiang Yingyu's expression, but he pretended not to notice.
Nie Yan's heart was devoted solely to Xie Yao.
After the class party ended, Nie Yan drove back home with Xie Yao.
Nie Yan received a text message from Bayonet during the drive home, confirming from the satellite data that no one was tailing them.
Bayonet's expertise in hacking satellites was definitely top notch. Nie Yan had no idea where Bayonet learned this skill, but he naturally didn't let it go to waste. He bought Bayonet all sorts of bleeding edge equipment. With this, Bayonet could more easily access the civilian satellites and better monitor the situation in the area through the video feed.
After confirming everything was safe, Nie Yan and Xie Yao arrived home.
The villa appeared quiet and tranquil. The flowers in the garden were in full bloom. The noise of the outside couldn't breach this place.
"Are you worried about Qin Han?" Xie Yao asked. Nie Yan seemed a bit absent-minded.
"No." Nie Yan shook his head with a smile. He didn't take any of Qin Han's words to heart.
"Today was pretty lively, but everyone will be going their separate ways now. I don't know why, but it feels a little lonely. Xia Ling and Yue'er are going to study abroad..." Xie Yao let out a deep sigh. Partings were inevitable in life. That didn't make them any easier. However, the connections made and memories shared were what mattered the most.
"Don't worry, we've both entered the Top Military Academy. We can visit them whenever," Nie Yan faintly smiled.
"Mhm..." Xie Yao nodded.
As the two walked into the villa, Xie Yao's cheeks burned hot as she recalled her earlier promise to Nie Yan.
"I'll be waiting for you in the workout room. I'm looking forward to your dance," Nie Yan whispered in Xie Yao's ear. The mood immediately became hot.
"H-haha... Hey, Nie Yan. Is it too late to ask to push this back to some other time...?" Xie Yao asked.
Nie Yan simply gazed at Xie Yao with a mischievous smile.
Xie Yao immediately grew flustered. "A-alright! I'll dance!"
Nie Yan entered the workout room.
Seeing Nie Yan's figure disappear into the workout room, all the courage Xie Yao had drummed up deflated like a balloon. She entered her bedroom and opened up the wardrobe cabinet. Inside were all sorts of laced gowns and undergarments. After brooding for what seemed like forever, she finally picked one and tried it on in front of the mirror. Seeing how revealing and sexually provocative it was, several lewd scenes flashed through her mind, and her heart became flustered.
Unwilling to lose out to Jiang Yingyu, Xie Yao steeled herself and made her way to the workout room.
Nie Yan had already instructed the servants that no one was permitted to enter this area. Xie Yao covered herself in a jacket as she walked through the hallway. Arriving outside the doorway of the workout room, she removed her socks, exposing her delicate ankles. After a brief moment of hesitation, she summoned the courage to enter.
Nie Yan, who was sitting on a mat at the far edge of the workout room, heard a sound coming from the door. He turned his head and looked.
Xie Yao walked into the workout room while covered in a large coat. However, her slender snow white arms and legs were still fully exposed. Her petite feet and exquisite ankles resembled flawless jade carvings.
Xie Yao's shy and bashful appearance was quite charming.
"Just so you know, the Dance of the Peacock is best performed in a long dress. So, you better not say I danced badly!" Xie Yao said.
Nie Yan laughed. "It seems I can only say it was good or perfect."
Xie Yao pouted, unsatisfied with Nie Yan's reply. She removed her coat and started to dance. In the beginning her movements were a bit stiff, committing one mistake after another. But eventually she found her rhythm. Her steps became light and quick and carried and conveyed an indescribable feeling.
Nie Yan's eyes were glued onto Xie Yao. The tight-laced night gown perfectly accentuated her curvy figure. She wore no bra, but her breasts remained perky as ever. The full mounds on her spaghetti-strap top shook suggestively with every move she made. Her short skirt, which covered barely enough to hide her beautiful bottom, did nothing to hide the perfectly toned thighs adorning her long slender legs.
Xie Yao in her seductive nightgown resembled a beautiful nymph dancing in the moonlight. Each move from her dance shook Nie Yan's heart.
The Dance of the Peacock was both beautiful and elegant, like the bird it was named after.
Xie Yao's dance perfectly conveyed this feeling.
Ever since seeing Jiang Yingyu performing the Dance of the Peacock some time ago, Xie Yao had secretly been practicing it at home for the sole purpose of showing it off to Nie Yan. The Dance of the Peacock was best performed in a suitable garb, a long dress skirt on the lower body and shoulder ornaments on the upper body. Only then could it perfectly emphasize a woman's figure. With her disposition, she definitely wouldn't be able to perform such an erotic dance in front of an audience.
Xie Yao's cheeks were scarlet red. As she gazed at Nie Yan, she quietly muttered in her heart, Nie Yan, did you know? I only learned this dance for you.
Xie Yao's movements were sometimes as tranquil as a lake and sometimes incomparably seductive, tugging at Nie Yan's heartstrings.
Nie Yan was captivated by Xie Yao's graceful dance. She was like a butterfly fluttering through the air. It was as though the two of them were the only people in the world.
Jiang Yingyu's Dance of the Peacock, which relied on her devilish figure to bewitch the viewer and drive them mad with lust, failed to move Nie Yan in the slightest. However, Xie Yao was like an ethereal beauty, captivating him with her graceful figure. His heart couldn't help but beat in tandem with her every movement.
As though entranced in a dream, Nie Yan's breath stagnated.
Right now, Xie Yao was both pure and charming, angelic and seductive. These contrasting feelings unceasingly tugged back and forth at Nie Yan's heart.
In Nie Yan's opinion, Xie Yao's dancing was much better than Jiang Yingyu's. Xie Yao's current appearance was so beautiful that one would find it hard to look away.
Nie Yan didn't want Xie Yao performing this dance in front of anyone else. It was for his eyes, and his eyes only.
Nie Yan knew this was selfish, but he couldn't help but feel this way.
It didn't matter who. Any man would have these feelings evoked in their heart after watching Xie Yao dance.
Nie Yan was an ordinary person. His current thoughts were no different than others.
Ten minutes later, Xie Yao finally finished her dance. She hurriedly put on her coat. "I'm going to get changed." Her face was bright red, unable to contain her bashfulness. She turned around about to leave.
Nie Yan walked over and stopped Xie Yao. He kissed her forehead and said with a smile, "That was the most beautiful Dance of the Peacock."
Xie Yao pursed her lips into a smile. Nie Yan's smile left her feeling flustered.
The two locked gazes as a lovey dovey atmosphere developed between them. The Dance of the Peacock just now was deeply engraved into Nie Yan's mind. He lowered his head and went in for the kiss.
Xie Yao couldn't help but hold onto Nie Yan. She was willing to melt into his embrace.
This was the first time Nie Yan witnessed Xie Yao taking initiative. As his hands lightly touched her back, he felt her shudder all over.
Xie Yao was still as sensitive as ever. Nie Yan moved his hands from her back to her firm buttocks. His mind was already filled with obscene desires. Her alluring Dance of the Peacock had ignited the flames of desire in his heart.
Xie Yao was normally pure and elegant like a refreshing spring breeze. Once she showed her seductive side, people would lose all control of themselves.
Feeling a smooth and supple feeling on his hand, Nie Yan couldn't help but pinch Xie Yao's thigh. Her slender legs, which didn't have the slightest bit of excess fat, were covered in sweat. She had undoubtedly exerted herself quite a bit while dancing. He wanted to gently caress and stroke her silky smooth shoulders, seductive thighs, and flawless ankles.
Nie Yan's groping was difficult for Xie Yao to endure. She couldn't help but squeeze her legs. An indescribable feeling left her constantly squirming and rubbing her thighs together.
"Xie Yao," Nie Yan softly called.
"Hng..." Xie Yao answered.
"Your Dance of the Peacock was so beautiful," Nie Yan said. He firmly believed anyone who saw Xie Yao dance would say the same thing.
Nie Yan removed Xie Yao's coat. He looked down and saw a pair of soft, perfectly shaped mounds faintly hidden by the thin cloth of her nightgown. He couldn't help but become a bit absent-minded. As he reached out his left hand and groped one of them, Xie Yao softly groaned and shyly buried her head into his chest.
"Not here, Nie Yan. Let's go to your room," Xie Yao said. She wasn't comfortable doing this in the workout room. Her heart was always reserved. In front of Nie Yan, she had already opened her mind and body. However, she still wasn't used to doing such embarrassing things.
"Alright." Nie Yan bent down and picked up Xie Yao's nightgown.
At this moment, Xie Yao staggered and almost fell.
Nie Yan hurriedly supported her. "What's wrong?"
"Nie Yan, carry me. My legs are shaky, it's hard to stand."
As Nie Yan wrapped one arm under Xie Yao's legs in an attempt to bring her into a princess carry, he felt a moist feeling between her clothes. His lips curved into a mischievous smile.
"Don't laugh!" Xie Yao smacked Nie Yan's shoulder.
Nie Yan chuckled. He helped her put on her coat, then lifted her up.
"Let's return to the bedroom." Nie Yan lifted Xie Yao up and carried her upstairs.
Xie Yao leaned on Nie Yan's shoulder. As she gazed at the side of his face, she revealed a bright smile. He was carrying her very gently, making her feel safe. No matter what he asked of her, she wouldn't refuse. From her point of view, she already belonged to him. As she recalled the burden he carried in his heart, she mentally let out a deep sigh. At times like these she wished even more that she was born in a common household.
As a man, Nie Yan had to have enough strength to contend with the Dragonsoar and Glory Financial Groups. If he wanted to take away their precious princess, he had to prove his worth. This was a matter that couldn't be ignored.
