Xanthea: "It's fake!"
"So am I. My whole heart is occupied by you; my world cannot be without you.
"You're mine, my sweetheart, my treasure, the love of my life forever and ever."
Xanthea seriously suspected that he was lost in his own fantasies, not even feeling the pain when she stepped on his foot.
"Orion, you deliberately played with me, tricked me, and made me anxious and fearful all afternoon. Don't think you can get away with it!"
"What do you want then, Xannie?"
Orion slightly loosened his grip on her, his face beaming with joy, looking incredibly handsome. His deep, smiling eyes seemed willing to do anything for her, even plucking stars from the sky.
This wicked Sly Fox was getting more and more outrageous!
She couldn't let herself be fooled by his good looks and sweet words again. She had to punish him severely!
"I'm going to punish you!"
Xanthea clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with fury, looking like an adorable, puffed-up little fox, which made him want to ruffle her hair.
Orion chuckled and patted her head, "Alright, how do you want to punish me?"
He had power, wealth, and youth, with seemingly endless energy. It seemed like no punishment would be enough.
Was there something he liked a lot, was truly passionate about, but couldn't control. Got it!
Xanthea smirked, "I'll punish you by not allowing you to hug or kiss me for a week! No, make it a month!"
At that, the man's expression froze, as if she had hit his weak spot.
Just as Xanthea was feeling smug about catching him off guard, he glanced at her with a meaningful look, "If we do it directly, wouldn't that be too painful?"
"Huh? Directly?"
Xanthea looked at him puzzled, seeing the lurking desire in his eyes. Her face turned beet red and she angrily hit him, "You pervert, you scoundrel! What are you thinking?"
Orion pulled her into his embrace, his laughter clear and pleasant, "I'm not going against Xannie's punishment."
"As if I'd know your thoughts are so lewd! I'm changing it. For a month, you're not allowed to touch me!"
"Let's make it something practical."
