He smiled and answered, "No."
Jin Qingyue was relieved to hear his answer.
She got up and lay atop him before lowering her head to kiss him gently.
Ling Ciye's lips were cold, and his breath reeked of alcohol even though he had already brushed his teeth.
The deep, passionate smooching sent both of their hormones raging uncontrollably.
She supported herself on both arms, which she placed on either side of Ling Ciye's body. She then pressed her body against his chest, after which he grabbed her breasts and began fondling them gently.
Jin Qingyue opened her mouth slightly and moaned in pleasure.
Both of their breathing began to quicken.
Once the foreplay was done and they were both in the mood, Ling Ciye held her waist with both hands and thrust his hips upward, penetrating her instantly.
Jin Qingyue gasped in shock and was moved into a different position involuntarily.
She lay below while he flipped his body and pinned her beneath him."Brother..." she called coquettishly.
"Call me that again, " Ling Ciye, pleased to hear her address him that way.
"Brother."
"Again."
"Brother..."
The beach was breezy while it was hot and steamy inside the tent as they held each other with a burning passion.
After climaxing several times, Jin Qingyue was exhausted beyond imagination and could not close her legs. He finally decided to stop.
As it turned out, he was amazing in bed.
She removed her makeup and snuggled up into his arms to sleep.

"Where did Qingyue go after leaving Bao'er here?"
"Young Sir, Missy said that she went camping with Mr. Ling and she won't be picking Bao'er up tonight. Mr. Ling's love life is blooming, " Fan Shixin said with a chuckle.
Jin Qingyan rolled his eyes and asked, "Why are you happy about his love life? I read about the news of a fire breaking out in the Autumn Palace last night. What exactly happened?"
"I heard that the fire broke out in Tuoba Danxue's mansion. There were two casualties, one was the head cook and the other was her servant. The cause of the fire was said to be a kerosene explosion."
"Is that so? I'll be attending Tuoba Gucheng's wedding at the Autumn Palace in a few more days. Is my suit ready yet?" Jin Qingyan asked.
"We're preparing it, it'll be ready by tomorrow."
Jin Qingyan stood up and said, "I'm going to bed."
"Young Sir, you're going to bed so soon? It's only eight o'clock now. Don't you usually only go to bed after nine o'clock?" Fan Shixin asked in puzzlement.
"We'll be going to the Autumn Palace in a few days. Do you want to see me looking weary and haggard? I don't want others to think that I'm in bad shape just because I'm twice-divorced. I want them to know that I'm still living well even though I've already gotten a divorce."
"Young Sir, by 'others, ' do you mean Ms. An?" Fan Shixin exposed him cruelly.
Jin Qingyan squinted and exclaimed, "You're reading too much into things!"
Fan Shixin pursed his lips while watching Jin Qingyan make his way upstairs hurriedly. He was bent on the fact that the latter was referring to An Xiaoning.
Upon returning to his room, Jin Qingyan took out a pack of sleeping pills from the drawer, popped a few into his mouth, and washed them down with cold water.
He lay down in bed and began sleeping.
He initially thought that he would sleep peacefully all the way until daybreak. Yet, he woke up abruptly in the middle of the night, feeling a strange ache from head to toe.
He could not quite put a finger on which spot the pain was coming from. However, it was so acute and sharp that he shelled up and curled into a ball.
The excruciating pain caused him to break out in cold sweat.
He tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
When daybreak arrived, he immediately proceeded to visit a doctor.
Strangely enough, all the tests and physical examinations showed that there were no abnormalities. The doctor also mentioned that he was perfectly fine with no ailments or illnesses.
However, he was still frightened and bewildered by the sudden pain he experienced last night. At last, he finally decided to visit the psychiatrist after much persuasion from the doctor.
Jin Qingyan stopped in his tracks when he reached the door of the psychiatrist's office."Young Sir, why aren't you entering?" Fan Shixin asked softly.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with my mental health."
"There's no harm in asking."
"True." Jin Qingyan strode inside the office.
After hearing his precise explanation, the psychiatrist asked, "Mr. Jin, have you been lacking sleep and suffering from headaches lately?"
"Yes."
"According to your description of what happened last night and the symptoms you're experiencing, it's clear that you're suffering from a psychological illness. There's nothing wrong with your physical health or your nervous system, but rather, it's an issue with your mental health. In such cases, not only will you suffer from insomnia, but you'll also experience sudden bouts of acute pain, anxiety, and frustration, as well as constantly feel like you're in low spirits. Have you dealt with anything that gave you a huge emotional blow lately? I think you'd need time to adjust slowly. These are the precursory symptoms of depression. Feeling pain all over your body is only a psychological warning, which is actually rather healthy."
Fan Shixin was perturbed by the psychiatrist's words.
His Young Sir has been diagnosed with a psychological disorder...
"It's impossible that I have depression... maybe the pain was caused by an upset stomach, " Jin Qingyan murmured in denial as he rose from his seat.
He then turned around to leave.
Fan Shixin hurriedly followed him, not daring to utter a single word.
While driving, Fan Shixin would occasionally take a glimpse of Jin Qingyan in the rearview mirror. At last, he finally spoke up, "Young Sir, you've been grumpy and under the weather lately. I really think you should sort your emotions out. You can't give up and stop believing in true love just because a woman had let you down. Young Sir, I heard that you'd have to fall in love with another person in order to forget someone. If Ms. An is not destined to be the person you'll grow old with, I think you should really go ahead and find the one for you, Young Sir."
"I've already forgotten her, " Jin Qingyan said with his eyes glassed over.
"Young Sir, stop putting on a brave front, " said Fan Shixin, clearly refusing to believe him.
"Why must I remember a woman who betrayed me!?! There are countless women in this world who are dying for a chance to be with me. Why must I insist on being with her? We've already divorced each other. I don't wish to see her again for the rest of my life!" Jin Qingyan snapped agitatedly.
"Young Sir, don't get so worked up..."
"I didn't!"
Fan Shixin dared not say anything else.
Jin Qingyan stared out of the window to see that the traffic was heavy and the roads were extremely crowded with pedestrians.
The happiness he once thought he had grasped was vanishing gradually like the dispersing crowd.
The thought of how he loved her genuinely with all his heart never failed to fill him with misery.
Tears began to well up in Jin Qingyan's eyes. He felt as if a million daggers were piercing through his heart.
No one knew exactly how he was feeling now.
No one will ever understand.

Zhi Yin was burned alive and had passed away.
Tuoba Danxue was consumed by horror at the sight of Zhi Yin's charred corpse.
Yet, there was nothing she could do.
The results of the investigation proved that the cause of the fire was a gas leak, which had led to an explosion. However, it was unknown if the explosion was accidental or was sparked off intentionally.
The surveillance cameras in the house had all been destroyed by the fire.
After cremating Zhi Yin, Tuoba Danxue allowed her family members to bring her ashes home and gave them a sum of money as well.
Ever since the incident, she had become much closer to Bai Zhi and thanked her for saving her life. She also requested for Bai Zhi to continue remaining by her side.
"Didn't you say you wanted to swap Bai Zhi with Mu Ning again after my wedding?" Tuoba Gucheng asked.
"Bai Zhi will follow me around from now on. Mu Ning doesn't have to come back to me, " said Tuoba Danxue.
Mu Ning remained silent and shifted her gaze to Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi was tall and lanky with a killer figure. However, she often appeared reserved and aloof.
Mu Ning had spoken to her a mere few times and did not quite know what she was like as a person.
