Jin Qiu's name flashed on Xiao Rufeng's phone. Yan Xiuchen's eyes narrowed, wondering what the other man wanted from his girlfriend now. Jin Qiu had stood up for and protected Xiao Yunyao despite finding out the horrible things Xiao Yunyao had done to her sister. He would never understand why Jin Qiu had chosen the younger Xiao sister, but it didn't matter now, since Yan Xiuchen had no plans on giving up Xiao Rufeng.
He pondered for a moment if he should answer the phone call or not. He wondered if Jin Qiu had finally realized his mistake and wanted to make amends with Xiao Rufeng? Although Yan Xiuchen trusted that Xiao Rufeng wouldn't see another man behind his back, it didn't mean that other men wouldn't try to seek after her. In the end, Yan Xiuchen chose to wake Xiao Rufeng up and handed her the ringing phone.
"What is it?" She grumbled, sitting up and allowing the sheets to gather on her lap, exposing her bare chest in sight.
Yan Xiuchen was taken aback and blinked twice in surprise. Xiao Rufeng has been getting bolder and more confident lately.
"Jin Qiu is persistently calling you. I think you should answer him."
Xiao Rufeng huffed and hit the answer button. She didn't need to ask to know that Jin Qiu was calling her because of Xiao Yunyao.
"You better give me a good reason why you're waking me up early on my day off." She said with irritation.
"Yaoyao's trial starts today. Can't you help her?" Jin Qiu said from the other end of the line and it only irritated Xiao Rufeng further.
"Of course I know that her trial starts today, but why would you think I will help her after all she has done against me? Even Dad couldn't tolerate her any longer. She's on her own now." Xiao Rufeng reminded him, adjusting the sheets to cover her chest while Yan Xiuchen decided to take a seat next to her, wanting to know what Jin Qiu was up to.
"She's still your sister, Rufeng. She doesn't have anyone right now." Xiao Rufeng could hear the disappointment in his voice, but she didn't give a damn of what Jin Qiu was thinking right now.
"You're lying again, Jin Qiu. She still has you, doesn't she? You decided to stay with her although you know that your family disapproves of her already." Xiao Rufeng pointed out. Ever since that night, Jin Qiu's parents had called to cancel the engagement between the two and were now seeking out other eligible women for their son.
Jin Qiu didn't have a word to refute her words, which only proved that Xiao Rufeng was right.
"We're both wasting time here, Jin Qiu. There's nothing else I can do to help Yaoyao. The only way she would be able to get through this is to prove that she's innocent, which we both know that she's not. If there's nothing else, then please don't call me anymore." She said, ending the phone call even before Jin Qiu could say another word.
"He really doesn't know when to give up." Yan Xiuchen commented as Xiao Rufeng leaned her head against his shoulder.
"He had it bad for her." She agreed with his observation. Xiao Rufeng had never thought that Jin Qiu would throw his logical mind to the wind for Xiao Yunyao.
"I also have it bad for you, but you don't see me doing something stupid and using you as a reason for it." Yan Xiuchen pointed out, immediately making her blush from his words.
"Don't be silly. You don't need to compare yourself to him, because you are far better than him." She replied, thinking that she was lucky that Jin Qiu didn't reciprocate her feelings because it led her to a man that could love her with all his might.
Yan Xiuchen gathered her into his arms and held her close. "You trust me that much?"
She craned her neck to look at his face, her brows pulled together.
"What kind of question is that? Of course, I do. I don't understand how others can't stand being with you when you are so easy to love." Xiao Rufeng then shifted and threw a leg over his hips and moved to straddle him. With her hair still a mess and body lit up by the faint morning sun, she looked like some kind of goddess who trespassed his world and took everything from him.
Yan Xiuchen blinked and tried not to smile at her words. It was enough for him that Xiao Rufeng loved him. He didn't care if the rest of the world didn't like him. The way she easily voiced her love for him made him feel a lot.
"Speaking of trust, we don't need to use protection anymore."
This was something she forgot to discuss with him yesterday and she hoped that he wouldn't get mad at her for getting a birth control device from the hospital.
He looked at her confusedly as he set his hands on her hips.
"Are you sure? Su Xiaofei and your father will surely skin me alive if I suddenly knock you up. You don't have to do this, Rufeng." As much as he wanted to be inside her without a barrier separating them, Yan Xiuchen didn't want her to regret her decision in the future.
"Do you not want to? Because it's okay if you aren't ready for it. I know something like this would need both of our consent. If you're not comfortable with it, it's okay. We can continue using condoms." She shrugged.
"And why do you suddenly want to stop using any protection?" He raised a brow at her.
Xiao Rufeng bit her lip and rested both of her hands over his shoulder. Unlike their previous lovemaking, she was more confident to show her body to him now. He liked that she wasn't acting like walking on eggshells when she was with him.
