I alone am the Honoured One!

"Zhilian, I won't touch any random woman whom I am not interested in."

Huh? Hearing this, it took a second for Ning Zhilian to understand and she blinked her eyes.

It took her a moment, but when it finally sank in, her entire face flushed a deep red. EH?

She opened her mouth, ready to respond, but her embarrassment got the better of him and she hurriedly looked away, biting her lip.

"W-What are you saying, Tian?" she stammered, her voice shaky, trying to play it off, but her trembling hands and the heat on her face betrayed her.

With a light chuckle, Zhao Tian leaned back lying on the sand, his hand behind his head "You know what I meant Zhilian..."

Ning Zhilian's eyes trembled upon hearing this and her heartbeat raised as she mumbled in a soft tone "How should I.. take this?"

"That you like me?"

Zhao Tian gave a faint nod "Yeah..."

Ning Zhilian placed her palm on her beating heart and a growing smile appeared on her lips "Then... let me be honest."

Taking a deep breath, she spoke her honest feelings "I am also pretty interested in you... ever since you helped Xue'er during the coup. I thought you were cute... and cool."

"But... this is so sudden. And.. you are Zui'er and Little Xue's husband... it would be really inappropriate"

"It would be quite uncomfortable to face them.. if I became your woman.."

She turned her purple eyes to look at him "But... it is true," she continued, her voice quieter now.

"I have a crush on you, or maybe it's more like infatuation, but it's real." She swallowed hard, her lips curving into a nervous yet genuine smile.

"Thank you. I am really happy about your feelings... even now, my heart is beating so quickly."

Looking into her eyes, Zhao Tian's gaze softened a gentle smile spreading across his lips. He didn't rush her, nor did he interrupt.

A faint sigh escaped her lips "Can you give me some time to think about this?"

Zhao Tian kept his smile and replied "Sure, it is an important matter after all..."

Ning Zhilian gave a nod because this one decision would change the entire course of her life.

She had always found Zhao Tian to be charming—a bit of a flirt at times, sure, but undeniably likable.

After spending some time with him, she understood how he has so many women and they are all willing to share the same man.

Because he wasn't just strong and reliable; he was also caring and attentive in ways that made people feel valued.

In her eyes, Zhao Tian was the kind of man you couldn't help but be drawn to.

He was confident yet kind, mischievous yet compassionate, and attractive in a way that wasn't just about his looks. It was his energy, his presence.

Sure, he was a bit of a pervert—she had seen his playful side more than once—but that didn't take away from the fact that he has a good heart.

She had an undeniable attraction toward him. She couldn't deny it any longer, especially not now, after he had openly admitted his feelings for her.

She thought back to the time they had spent together—not just with him, but with the other women in his life.

Over the days, she had grown to appreciate the soft, familial atmosphere they shared.

They weren't just his women—they were like sisters to one another.

And truth be told, Ning Zhilian liked being around them.

There was a warmth to their group, a sense of belonging that she hadn't experienced in a long time.

Sure, there were moments of banter and playful teasing, but it was all in good fun. They genuinely cared for each other, and Ning Zhilian couldn't help but feel drawn into that circle.

The thought of joining them… It wasn't as frightening as it once seemed.

But still… she needed time. Time to figure out what she wanted, and how to approach Ning Xue and Ning Zuiye, to make sure this wouldn't strain their relationships.

With a deep breath, she looked back at Zhao Tian, her voice soft but steady. "Thank you for understanding," she said, her lips curving into a small but genuine smile.

"I'll need some time to think, but… I'm glad we had this talk."

Zhao Tian smiled gently and turned his gaze to look at the stars.

As they stayed silent, Ning Zhilian glanced at him in the corner of her eyes and reached out grabbing his left hand.

Hm? Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow as she moved his hand placing it over the sand.

With a smile, she leaned down, using his arm as a pillow, lying beside him on the sand and raising her head to look at the stars.

Zhao Tian slowly pulled her closer and Ning Zhilian couldn't suppress her giggle "pervert..."

Hearing this, Zhao Tian smiled dryly "Why are you calling me a pervert? ahem, I just thought... since it's night, it's cold... so pulled you closer so you can get some warmth."

Ning Zhilian gave a knowing nod "Yeah, yeah... it is cold" smiling, she placed her arm on his chest.

"The stars really look beautiful..."

A mutter escaped her lips and Zhao Tian gave a nod "Yeah, they do..."

Ning Zhilian glanced at his face and asked "I know very little about you... Tian, so tell me more about you..."

"What are your likes and hobbies? Like... maybe how you were back in school and University, tell me something about you."

And they began to talk... with star gazing.

...

Rubbing her stomach, Zahra Ashante came to the campsite after taking a nap and saw that the women were preparing for a movie.

She looked around searching for Zhao Tian and her gaze narrowed, glancing at him at the end of the beach.

Smiling she ran towards him "TIAN!"

"Bitch!"

However, suddenly someone grabbed her mouth and put her in place as Hun Xiang grabbed her waist and Ning Xue clutched her neck.

What? She was startled and looked at the three women who just pinned her down.

Ning Xue let out a sigh "Don't cause trouble again and disturb their peaceful moment..."

Hm? Zahra Ashante moved her eyes and glanced at Ning Zhilian who was with him lying on the sand.

"Hm.." She nodded her head and the three of them let her go.

...

Zhao Suyin was looking through the movies searching for what to play "We need a good romance movie..."

With a chuckle, Zhao Ying glanced over at Zhao Tian "My little brother is doing a good romance movie there."

Hm? Zhao Suyin flowed her gaze and giggled "Hahaha..."
