Chapter 669 Decent Man

As if on cue, a gust of mountain wind blew through, sending sparks flying from the campfire in all directions. Both the stunning beauties and Daniel, for safety's sake, retreated several steps away from the fire.

Noticing Beauty clutching the hem of her skirt tightly, Daniel teasingly asked, "I thought you said you wouldn't hold down your skirt, Beauty?"

"Shut up!" Beauty snapped back, but Daniel just continued, "It's such a pity! The sight of skirts fluttering in the wind is so charming. Yet Beauty, who doesn't appreciate romance, won't let me see."

"You pervert!" Beauty's frustration bubbled over, and she kicked Daniel so hard he nearly lost his balance. If he hadn't been so sturdy on his feet, he might have ended up sprawled on the ground-or worse, in the water.

The mountain wind was as fleeting as it was brisk. After a short while, the gust petered out, leaving the air calm once more. Daniel eyed the elegant beauties before him and felt a twinge of regret for his missed opportunity to play the decent man.

As Daniel pondered with a scheming expression, Beauty leaned in, her suspicion piqued, "Country bumpkin, what are you contemplating so deeply?" "Oh, what a missed opportunity!" Daniel sighed with a dramatic flourish, confusing Beauty further.

"Missed what?" she inquired with obvious curiosity.

"God granted me such a perfect chance! But alas, I chose to be a decent man," Daniel explained with a hint of self-mockery.

Decent man? The term echoed in Beauty's mind, and she immediately sensed something was off. Without a second thought, she twisted Daniel's words around.

"Decent man? You're nothing but a pervert! If you're considered decent, then there are no indecent men in this world!"

"Beauty, let's be fair. How am I not

decent? Just now, without my warning, both your and Victoria's skirts might have flown up in that sudden breeze. It was me who' reminded you before the wind hit. Thus, I am a decent man!"

"Decent, you wish! You're a scoundrel, and don't think I'm clueless! Every vile thought in your mind, I know it all too clearly!"

Just then, Victoria joined the

conversation, "Beauty, let's not be too hard on him. Sure, he jokes around, but deep down, I believe he's quite pure-hearted. A handsome and decent guy like him is rare; we should cherish him."

"Fine, Victoria. I'll spare him this time for your sake."

The thought made Beauty impatient to try it. Eagerness painted her face as she pointed at the fish, almost like a greedy kitten, demanding, "Country bumpkin, is the grilled fish ready?"

"It should be done. Why don't you check it out?" Daniel replied, grinning from ear to ear.
