A tall woman in a sharp business suit stepped out. Her black pencil skirt accentuated elegant curves, and sheer stockings made her legs look endlessly long.
The mature secretary opened the car door. "President, we're here."
"Mm."
Black high heels clicked crisply against the pavement.
Even just her calves, sheathed in pure black stockings, hinted at stunning beauty.
The black silk dress fell just above her knees, draped perfectly with a clean cut.
A slim belt cinched her slender waist.
Silver hair cascaded down, contrasting beautifully with the dark fabric.
Above it, an expressionless face held deep crimson eyes—breathtakingly gorgeous.
A true ice-cold beauty.
The mature secretary led the way, pushing open the martial arts school's door.
Su Qingshan's crimson gaze swept the interior.
The dirt courtyard was spotless, save for a forgotten toy in the corner.
The building looked old and worn, yet meticulously tidy.
So the Azure Rainbow Sect truly was destitute.
Su Qingshan felt deeply satisfied.
Disciples of the Azure Rainbow Sect, prepare to accept this generous sponsor's aid!
"Who are you looking for?"
A gentle, dignified voice called out.
Su Qingshan followed the sound and saw Gujiajia.
What was she doing here?
Su Qingshan froze.
What was she doing here?
Gujiajia was equally stunned.
They stared at each other, utterly confused.
Gujiajia's panic spiked seeing the girl in the dojo.
Had the Dark Dragon tracked her here?
What did she want?
"Why did you find this place?!" Gujiajia demanded, steeling herself for the children's sake.
What was the Dark Dragon after? What was her goal?
She could do anything to her—but not touch her disciples!
"You're here too?"
Su Qingshan and Gujiajia blurted it simultaneously.
Why did she keep bumping into Big Sister everywhere?
Was this fate's cruel joke?
System Maiden chimed in: "This is the unspoken bond between host sister and female lead!"
Gujiajia's anger flared hotter.
The vile Dark Dragon had found her—and was still playing innocent!
She knew it. How could such a monster ever let her go?
She'd even trusted her once.
A Dark Dragon stayed a Dark Dragon.
All just illusions to trick her!
"Villains never keep promises. I actually trusted you before!" Gujiajia fumed.
Su Qingshan was baffled.
What had she said? Done?
Big Sister had trusted her?
"I warn you—if you harm the children, I'll—" Gujiajia stopped short, spotting Su Qingshan's sharp-dressed secretary.
Ordinary people were present. Some truths stayed hidden.
Su Qingshan raised an eyebrow. What wild fantasies was Big Sister spinning now?
"Are you threatening me?" Su Qingshan scoffed.
Did this female lead survive on imagination alone?
If Big Sister insisted, teasing her felt obligatory.
Su Qingshan strode forward, bracing one hand on the wall. She trapped Gujiajia between herself and the bricks, almost embracing her.
Gujiajia's eyes widened. Her heart raced uncontrollably!
She was being pinned again!
Pinned by the Dark Dragon!
This couldn't be happening!
"Big Sister, like this?" Su Qingshan murmured slowly.
Her free hand toyed with Gujiajia's dark hair spilling over her chest.
"Your face is flushed again. Do you enjoy being teased?"
"If you like it, Big Sister, I can go further."
Gujiajia's cheeks burned crimson. Her pulse hammered like a drum.
They were so close—drowned in her scent!
"Why are you here? To catch my eye? Or tied to this place?" Su Qingshan whispered, smiling. Her words froze Gujiajia solid.
"No! Don't say that! I—I just volunteer here!" Gujiajia stammered, desperate to hide her connection.
The Dark Dragon was already cruel. If she knew about the school, who knew what horrors she'd unleash?
Gujiajia feared for the children most.
Seeing her flustered, Su Qingshan leaned closer.
A tense, shy mature woman—such delicious contrast!
She called this bullying? This was barely the start.
"Is that so?" Su Qingshan breathed into her ear.
Warmth brushed Gujiajia's earlobe, sending shivers through her.
Su Qingshan's faint, cool fragrance filled her senses.
Gujiajia couldn't think straight.
"What else could it be?" she whispered weakly.
The air crackled hot between them.
Her breath on Gujiajia's skin—so warm from someone so cold.
That cool presence filled her mind, heart, and space—comforting, complete.
Her body ignited in the warmth, legs trembling.
Gujiajia jolted at her own thoughts.
How could she think this?
An illusion! Must be!
Gujiajia scolded herself. Get a grip!
She was just a girl!
Girls held hands, hugged—it was normal. Nothing had even happened!
Gujiajia, what are you thinking?
This wasn't right.
Girls shouldn't feel like this.
Yet she couldn't bring herself to resist.
Su Qingshan watched the shy, trapped woman and sighed inwardly.
Was Big Sister this easy to tease?
Just a wall pin, and she melted?
Though she did have... unusual tastes.
And an overactive imagination.
"Since you volunteer here, you know it well. Show me around?"
Gujiajia instinctively shook her head.
She wanted Su Qingshan gone—not touring the place.
"Fine. I'll look myself." Su Qingshan shrugged, withdrawing her hand to leave.
The comforting aura vanished. Gujiajia felt hollow.
She grabbed Su Qingshan's wrist without thinking.
"Hm?"
Gujiajia's face flushed again.
"I'll show you."
Letting her wander alone? Too risky.
Better to watch her closely.
Yes. That was it.
Gujiajia told herself firmly.
