illicit relationship

As usual, Xiao Tian and Lan Ruoxi went to Lian Xun's house to sweep the yard and water the plants.

After they finished their tasks, they went home. Because Xiao Tian wanted to relax, he traveled to a nearby park.

'It's already 05:00 pm. Time went so fast today.'

Xiao Tian looked at the clock on his smartphone.

When he was about to go home, a voice suddenly rang out. "Xiao Tian.."

Xiao Tian, who was sitting on the public seating, turned his head towards the source of the sound.

'Crystal?'

Xiao Tian was startled when he found out the person who had just called him was none other than Crystal.

'What is she doing here?'

Xiao Tian did not expect to meet Crystal at the park.

When Crystal was in front of him, she uttered, "I finally found you."

Yes. Crystal had been looking for him because her master forced her to meet him, or more precisely, her master forced her to be Xiao Tian's girlfriend.

"Why are you looking for me?" Xiao Tian asked curiously.

Crystal then sat next to Xiao Tian before answering. "I want to apologize for my master's rude behavior yesterday."

Crystal could not tell the truth immediately because that would make the situation awkward in an instant.

That was why she said she wanted to apologize for her master's rude behavior to him yesterday.

"Ah!" Xiao Tian still did not know that Crystal was hiding something from him. "It's fine. Don't mind it."

Even though Xiao Tian was annoyed yesterday, he had already forgotten it. Yu Shi was Crystal's master, so he decided to ignore her rude behavior because he didn't want his relationship with Crystal to be ruined.

Crystal let out a sigh of relief after hearing his words. "To be honest, I was also startled yesterday. I didn't expect her to say something like that."

"Well, I knew she did that because she wanted to protect you. Even though her way is wrong, but her intentions are good." Xiao Tian knew the reason why Yu Shi suddenly wanted him to marry Crystal.

It was because Yu Shi was afraid that Xiao Tian would reveal Crystal's true identity. He just did not know why Yu Shi chose a weird way. He believed there were much better ways than her crazy idea.

"You are right." Crystal answered, "That's why I can't get angry at her."

Crystal agreed with Xiao Tian's words because she knew that Yu Shi never had any bad intentions towards her.

Like her who thought of Yu Shi as her mother, Yu Shi also thought of her as her daughter. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yu Shi to take care of her since she was a little.

"So, does she still want me to marry you now?" Xiao Tian wanted to know whether Yu Shi had changed her mind or not.

At this moment, Crystal didn't answer immediately because it was hard for her to answer his question.

Sure, her master no longer wanted him to marry her, but Yu Shi wanted her to be his lover now. Even though it was not as crazy as her previous idea, Crystal thought that her master's idea was still absurd.

Because Crystal didn't say a word, Xiao Tian asked again, "So what is her idea this time?"

"She wants…" Crystal was unable to finish her words.

'Should I tell him the truth?'

Crystal was wavering whether she should tell the truth or not.

"She wants?" because Crystal didn't finish her words, Xiao Tian didn't get her words.

"She wants us….to be lovers." Crystal decided to tell the truth because she was sure that her master would tell Xiao Tian about it if she didn't say it.

"It seems like your master is still not giving up." Xiao Tian answered, "You can tell her to rest assured. Whatever happens, I won't reveal your identity to anyone."

"I believe you, but…" even though Crystal didn't finish her words, she was sure that Xiao Tian knew what she was about to say.

'And there is one more thing you still don't know.'

Actually, there were two reasons why Yu Shi wanted Crystal to be his wife or lover.

First, Yu Shi wanted to ensure that Xiao Tian would never reveal Crystal's identity to anyone. And second, Yu Shi wanted Crystal to have a brighter future.

Xiao Tian was close to Lan Ruoxi, and Shi Fei, the Devil Queen, was one of his women, so if Crystal could become his lover, her future would be much better later.

Not only would Crystal get strong supporters, but she would also get more connections with important people in China.

"So, what are you going to do now?" Xiao Tian inquired.

"I don't know," Crystal responded as she shook her head.

She knew Yu Shi did that for her sake, and Yu Shi was already like a mother to her. However, love was something that could not be forced, or else it would not work later.

Sure, she had beautiful memories with Xiao Tian in the forest, but she only saw him as a good friend, and she was sure that Xiao Tian saw her as a friend too.

Crystal didn't expect her life to change drastically since she met Xiao Tian. In the past, Yu Shi only wanted her to diligently practice martial arts so that she would become a powerful martial artist.

But now, there was one more thing that Yu Shi wanted.

Yu Shi wanted her to be Xiao Tian's lover!

"To be honest, I'm really curious as to why your master wants you to be my wife or lover." Xiao Tian spoke and paused for a second before he continued, "Is she really afraid that I will reveal your identity?"

Actually, Xiao Tian suspected something. He suspected that Yu Shi wanted something from him. However, he could not say it directly because he did not want to hurt Crystal's feelings.

Crystal was startled after hearing his words.

'Because you have two strong supporters.'

She answered in her head.

"I also don't know." Crystal pretended as if she knew nothing. "Sometimes, I can't understand her train of thought."

At this moment, Xiao Tian wanted to bait her to tell the truth, but he changed his mind.

'She doesn't want to tell me the truth, huh? It seems like she really loves her master. Sigh. With this, I can't do anything now.'

Xiao Tian knew that Crystal was lying to him, but he pretended as if he knew nothing.

"I see." Xiao Tian uttered,

Suddenly there was a moment of awkward. The moment where they didn't say a single for several seconds.

'Hey, hey, hey. Why don't you say anything now? This will give me a sign that you are lying to me, you know?'

Xiao Tian said in his head.

Actually, Crystal was thinking about something, something so important that could change her life later.

Because of how much she loved her master, she didn't want to disappoint her master. Crystal wanted to make her master always happy and make her master's dream come true.

Crystal then turned her head towards Xiao Tia and spoke, "Xiao Tian…."

"Mmm?" Xiao Tian was curious about what she wanted to say.

"Do you want to be my lover?" Crystal inquired.
