"Ahem!"
Just as the two were lost in a passionate moment, an ill-timed cough suddenly cut through the silence of the night, making them both jump in fright.
Following the sound, Zhao Yuan was horrified to see Lin Xue's mother, Xue Wanyun, standing at the villa's entrance.
Zhao Yuan was completely floored.
'Damn, does it have to be this coincidental? I finally get a goodnight kiss, finally manage to conquer the high ground, and before I can even enjoy it, I get caught by my future mother-in-law... Is there anything more awkward than this in the whole world?'
"Ah, Mom, you... why aren't you asleep yet?" Lin Xue hastily let go of Zhao Yuan. Seeing that he still had his hand foolishly stuck inside her clothes, she was overcome with a mix of shame and annoyance. She quickly yanked his hand out and frantically straightened her clothes.
Zhao Yuan snapped back to his senses. Though incredibly embarrassed, he had to bite the bullet and greet her. "Hello, Aunt Xue."
