Feminine charm is a very abstract thing. It doesn't really have much to do with whether a woman is beautiful or not. While everyone appreciates a pretty face, you can't say that good looks are the same as feminine charm.

Some girls can't be called particularly pretty, maybe even having somewhat plain looks. No single part of their nondescript features stands out as particularly stunning.

Yet, they are incredibly captivating, making it impossible to look away for reasons you can't quite explain.

Even if her movements are only subtly different from anyone else's.

In the eyes of others, she just seems all the more endearing.

Then there are girls who are obviously beautiful, the kind who could land on the cover of a fashion magazine on their face alone.

But when people see them, their only thought is, "She's so beautiful," with no further impression.

There's also a theory that this feminine charm manifests differently depending on a girl's psychological age.

Jiangg Yao is only five minutes younger than her sister Jiangg Ning, but in this regard, she pales in comparison to Ningning. Sometimes, just the sight of Jiangg Ning's back is enough to send people's imaginations running wild. But Yaoyao just comes across as quirky and cute.

So, one could conclude that if a girl's maturity of thought surpasses her peers, if she's no longer so naive that she seems childish, and if she possesses a rationality and sensitivity that belie her age...

Then she is sure to have feminine charm.

Chen Yuan could clearly feel it. Now that she was back, Yaoyao's appeal to him had grown even stronger. He would subtly turn his head to study her, carefully trying to perceive this subtle difference.

He couldn't put it into words, of course. It was a feeling... like a faint, strange fragrance that was barely there.

He just felt his head getting fuzzy, making it hard to think.

"What's wrong, Young Master?"

"N-Nothing."

Chen Yuan adjusted his posture and coughed a few times to hide his awkwardness.

This had never happened to him before. It only started after he got back from the trip.

'Most people get "date syndrome" when they first start dating. I never expected to get it only after we'd moved past the ambiguous stage. It's truly baffling. But on second thought, all those invisible, intangible mysteries were hidden behind a closed door before, so of course I couldn't perceive them. Now, that door is open. With the bright, clear lake shrouded only by a thin layer of gauze, it's completely understandable that I'd be captivated by the hazy view.'

Jiangg Yao, unaware of his strange behavior, turned back to look at the flowers she was holding.

"I need to find a vase for these flowers when we get back. They smell so good."

"They won't last."

"Well, they can still last another two days. Otherwise, they'll just wilt tonight."

Jiangg Yao was, of course, in an exceptionally good mood. She relaxed and crossed her legs. Her heeled leather shoes were adorned with golden half-rings, and her pantyhose encased her delicate, perfect feet. When she lifted her leg, a small gap formed at the arch of her foot.

Perhaps because it was a bit warm in the car, she pushed her trench coat back a little.

While they were waiting at a red light, Chen Yuan turned his head. He had intended to ask if she'd eaten on the plane, but his eyes uncontrollably drifted downward.

'Who on earth invented pantyhose?'

'How can they look so good...?'

He mused, lost in thought.

"Little Young Master, didn't you say you saw my mom last time?" Jiangg Yao asked, a little worried.

But Chen Yuan, beside her, didn't answer.

Silence filled the car.

Jiangg Yao turned her head in confusion and instantly noticed the direction of Chen Yuan's gaze. She followed his line of sight down to her own legs.

'He's... really that mesmerized?'

"Little Young Master?"

"Ah—what is it! What did you just say? I zoned out," Chen Yuan replied, coming to his senses with some embarrassment.

"I feel like you're being weird. You've been so reserved since we met up today, and you're barely saying anything."

"No, I'm not. It's probably just been too long since we've seen each other."

"Oh... You like my legs?"

Yaoyao's blunt question made Chen Yuan's face turn red instantly.

"They're okay, I guess. I just think you look really nice today."

"Young Master, if you like them, you can touch them. I'm your girlfriend, why are you being such a stranger? You're being really, really weird today..."

"Let's save that for when we get home. I need to focus on driving."

"It's fine, it won't be a problem!"

Jiangg Yao frowned, unable to figure him out. She had actually been incredibly happy to see Chen Yuan today.

So, she took the initiative, grabbing the Young Master's hand and pulling it onto her leg.

The touch lasted only an instant, but the smooth, soft sensation made Chen Yuan pull back as if he'd been electrocuted.

"Jeez, I told you to touch, so just touch. Why are you so shy... You're like a little girl."

"It's fine."

"Do as I say."

"Really, it's fine—"

This little couple's back-and-forth was truly absurd. Chen Yuan was so shy and his reaction so intense that he jerked her hand while pulling away.

Yaoyao lost her balance and instantly fell onto his lap! Her hand pressed down, and with a firm push, he sucked in a sharp breath of cold air. He reflexively sat bolt upright, instantly entering a state of "company meeting" seriousness.

But the corner of his mouth twitched.

Jiangg Yao froze, then, after a few seconds of belated realization, she processed what had happened.

She smoothed her slightly messy long hair, her expression a magnificent spectacle. She wriggled her eyebrows, she blinked, and she even looked like she was about to burst out laughing.

"What is wrong with you..."

"..."

"Young Master, we haven't done anything intimate at all. Is your resistance really this weak?"

"..."

"Let me see," Jiangg Yao whispered, her lips parting as a slight blush crept onto her face.

"Don't mess around! I'm trying to focus on driving!" Chen Yuan said, warily shifting in his seat.

"Young Master~ I wanna see!"

In his panic, Chen Yuan quickly confessed what he was thinking. "I don't want to be like this either! But Yaoyao, ever since you got back, you seem even more captivating. Anyway, I can't really explain what's going on!"

"Then it worked!"

To his surprise, Jiangg Yao narrowed her eyes, a sly glint flashing within them.

She had been doing all sorts of "cultivation" recently!

Not only did she have special secret recipes to help, but she also exercised regularly every day. That blogger's advice was actually pretty effective.

'A woman has to know how to play to her strengths.' Jiangg Yao was very clear on this. She wasn't as slender and slim as her sister, but those few extra pounds were precisely the innate advantage that damn Ningning could never hope to match!

And so, Jiangg Yao worked hard to slim her waist, making sure all her curves were in the right places. The results were remarkable after just ten-odd days.

Now, though her efforts weren't obvious at a glance, her mature, womanly aura had improved dramatically!

Her legs were smoother, her waist was softer, her bust was fuller, and her butt was even perkier!

Wouldn't that just make someone mad with envy...

Jiangg Yao cackled "treacherously" in her heart several times. In her mind's eye, she was already pinning Jiangg Ning down with her butt, crossing her legs, folding her arms, and laughing maniacally up at the sky.

"'Worked?' What worked?" Chen Yuan was completely baffled.

"My Innate Enchanting Demon Saint Body is complete."

"What 'Saint Body'???"

"'This Saint Body,'" Jiangg Yao called Chen Yuan's name in a husky voice. When he turned his head, she lightly bit her lip and shot him a seductive glance. "Look good?"

Inside the car, her fragrant shoulders were now exposed, her skin fair and tender.

Chen Yuan only felt something warm and trickling slide to his lips.
