Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law

The room was brightly lit. Ning Wan crossed her hands over her shoulders, her long black hair cascading down her fragrant shoulders and back. Her gentle and beautiful face was now filled with panic and embarrassment. Her perfect delicate body, illuminated by the light, was flawless like white jade, almost giving a sense of holiness, especially with her rosy, glistening lips.

"You... why did you come?" In the bath barrel, Ning Wan had nowhere to hide, her face flushed red.

Fingers stroked over the pale, soft skin. Chen Mo leaned down and kissed the back of Ning Wan's neck, then pulled her delicate Rouyi, facing him. The sensation was exquisite and soft, making one reluctant to let go, softly saying, "I sweated, came back to wash."

Ning Wan paused slightly, tried to withdraw her hand but failed, saying, "Then you go bathe, why come here?"

"Aunt Ning was about to finish bathing anyway, we can bathe together and save some water." Chen Mo's gentle voice entered Ning Wan's ears.

Ning Wan: "..."

Your Marquis of Pingting County has a vast estate and saves this bit of water?

How much can this water cost?

If you can't afford it, I'll pay.

Seeing the beauty slightly stunned, Chen Mo had already released her, picked up a wooden bucket, and poured the water inside into the bath barrel. After undressing, he stepped into the tub without a word.

The hot water soaked the body, and the bath barrel was already quite full. When Chen Mo entered, it felt like it was about to overflow.

Ning Wan was startled and hurriedly tried to get out of the bath barrel, but Chen Mo embraced her fragrant shoulder tightly, whispering in her ear, "So long has passed, how has Aunt Ning thought about it?"

Previously, at least there was a protective shell, but now...

Ning Wan clearly felt everything about Chen Mo.

When she was with Liang Song, they both respected each other as guests, adhering to all etiquette.

For instance, they never engaged in frivolity during the day.

In public, they never spoke of love.

Behaving properly, even intimacy was pre-asked if it was okay.

Yet Chen Mo, in these aspects, was like a mischievous child, unbound by conventions, carefree and outrageous...

But Ning Wan didn't know why. She favored Chen Mo's style in her heart.

From childhood to now, she had lived by rules, this break from convention, this never-before-experienced rebellion, made her heartbeat accelerate significantly.

That's why rowdies often succeed.

Listening to the young man's words, Ning Wan's heart almost leapt from her chest, not knowing how to respond.

Seeing Ning Wan silent, Chen Mo whispered teasingly in her ear, "Aunt Ning, you wouldn't have lied to me last time, would you?

If I find out you lied, I'll be very angry."

Chen Mo pinched Ning Wan's chin, his gaze slightly cold, his tone with a touch of playfulness said.

"No... I didn't." Ning Wan's gaze dodged, not daring to look at Chen Mo.

"Then how have you thought about it?" Chen Mo's eyes chased hers, not letting her hide.

Ning Wan's fists clenched tightly. Seeing Chen Mo press her step by step, she lightly bit her cherry lips, saying, "Must you pressure me like this?"

"I'm not pressuring you. You yourself said you needed time to think. Surely Aunt Ning isn't trying to renege."

"I'm not."

"Too late to renege now, I won't leave tonight."

Chen Mo leaned close to Ning Wan's elegant nose, his peachy, moist lips felt fragrant, maturely beautiful was a triumph.

Listening to the young man's domineering words, Ning Wan couldn't help but close her curved lashes, her once plump, fair cheeks blushed lightly, radiant as a red plum, unprecedented feelings surged within.

But the young man was always restless. Initially just enjoying the kissing, the young man wanted more, wanting to explore the breadth of her feelings.

While Liang Song had never done such things.

Oh dear, why think of him now.

Ning Wan tried to remove Chen Mo's hand, but Chen Mo did not want to listen to her, acting on his own.

Helpless, unable to resist, Ning Wan could only allow Chen Mo his way.

Though seeing Chen Mo's actions growing excessive, even wanting in the bath barrel...

Ning Wan promptly stopped Chen Mo's recklessness.

Chen Mo: "???"

He thought Ning Wan hadn't really made up her mind.

Looking at Chen Mo's puzzled gaze, Ning Wan proactively extended her lotus-like arms, wrapped them around Chen Mo's neck, wanting to speak, but the shyness in her heart made her take a long time before saying, "Not... here."

"Then where?" Chen Mo knew Ning Wan's meaning but still teased her deliberately.

Don't laugh at the farmer's crude wine, a good year will fill guests with chicken and pork, Ning Wan hearing this teasing felt her heart ashamed and annoyed, her cheeks red as clouds, angrily said, "Don't tease me."

"Hahaha." Chen Mo laughed three times heartily, stretched his big hand over Ning Wan's leg bend, embracing her waist, water droplets sliding from both bodies, dripping into the bath barrel like pearls falling on a jade plate.

Chen Mo hugged Ning Wan and stepped out of the bath barrel, barefoot towards the soft couch, leaving wet footprints on the wooden floor.

Ning Wan clung to Chen Mo's neck, her cheek pressed against Chen Mo's chest, feeling the young man's powerful heartbeat and strong masculine aura, Ning Wan felt both nervous and expectant.

She had never felt this way even when newlywed.

Chen Mo gently placed Ning Wan on the soft couch, so she wouldn't feel neglected.

Ning Wan's mind was already exquisitely perceptive, she could feel Chen Mo's tenderness, making her feel much better, not as nervous as before.

This person still cares quite a bit.

For this, she also slightly got up, wanting to prepare the bedding properly in case things got chaotic later and she couldn't manage...

However, just as she turned her body, she heard a sudden "pop" sound, unusually loud in the room, clearly the millstone had been hit.

"You..."

At this moment, Ning Wan's elegant and alluring face was filled with a shy pink hue, her teeth nearly biting through her cherry lips, looking back at Chen Mo with incredulous eyes.

Was this person bullying her all along, taking advantage of her time and again?

Yet, for some reason, Ning Wan only felt her heart tremble uncontrollably, her delicate body becoming slightly weak, her mind in a whirl.

Chen Mo moved closer, wrapped his arms around the seemingly bristling beauty, and whispered, "Even if Aunt Ning doesn't do anything, it makes me utterly captivated."

From the moment Ning Wan expressed those words to Chen Mo earlier, her heart had been open to him without defenses. Her refined, picturesque brow and eyes exuded charm, a mature wifely allure subtly overflowing, allowing Chen Mo to hold her tightly.

Feeling the young man's invasive gaze upon her, Ning Wan placed her hand against Chen Mo's chest: "Can you...agree to one request of mine?"

Chen Mo was taken aback: "What request?"

"Never abandon me..." Ning Wan nestled her cheek against Chen Mo's chest, listening to his heartbeat, as if trying to discern the truth of his words from the sound of his heart.

"Silly," Chen Mo said, his fingers caressing Ning Wan's cheek, sensing her unease through her words.

She had previously been abandoned by both Liang Song and the Ning family.

Those who have been hurt are quite sensitive.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "From the time I had Aunt Ning settle in Longmen County, I intended for her to stay for a long time. Back then, I had no plans to abandon her, and now that Aunt Ning is my woman, how could I abandon you?

Not to mention, Aunt Ning, you are my capable assistant. The Fu Ze Hot Pot Restaurant still needs you to manage it. If you weren't there, I wouldn't know what to do."

Chen Mo affectionately continued.

Listening to Chen Mo's steady heartbeat, his words flowing without pause, Ning Wan felt slightly more at ease and said, "Please cherish me."

These words, like a soldier hearing the trumpet of charge on the battlefield, are full of relentless determination.

...

On the other side.

In Liang Xue's room, Liang Xue had just finished her bath and noticed the night outside the window, realizing that Chen Mo would not be coming tonight.

Which is good. If Chen Mo were to spend the night here every night,

it would make the other sisters jealous.

However, with Chen Mo not visiting tonight and the night stretched long, Liang Xue sat in the spacious room with nothing to do.

Because Chen Mo had disrupted her routine, she couldn't sleep before midnight.

Logically, she could have sought out Han Anniang and others to pass the time.

Yet, in front of Han Anniang and them, Liang Xue always felt a bit constrained, and some words were not suitable to discuss with them.

After sitting for a while, Liang Xue got up, intending to talk to Ning Wan.

Once they were "enemies" with conflicts, but now, the two were the closest in this Longmen County.

...

The night was deep, the lights in the courtyard were mostly out, leaving large areas in darkness.

Having lived here for a few years, Liang Xue was already familiar with the place's layout.

It didn't take long before she arrived outside Ning Wan's courtyard.

Liang Xue took a deep breath and walked in.

...

In the room.

Ning Wan, who had been alone for a long time, engaging in intimacy once again, was like the southern floods from a few years ago, her bright, charming eyes slightly narrowed, her neat, pearl-like teeth biting her lips as lustrous as water, her gaze sketching a beautiful landscape painting.

At this moment, her hair was disheveled, resembling a country woman entering a grand garden for the first time, her mind continually flashing images of the grand garden, her spirit wandering with no direction, deeply nostalgic.

Under her delicate and exquisite nose, her glossy lips slightly parted, appearing as if she wanted to speak but stopped on second thought.

Chen Mo whispered in her ear, "Who is stronger, me or him..."

Hearing this, Ning Wan immediately came to her senses, her face instantly flushing red: "You're going to be the death of me..."

This person was truly too wicked.

To mention that person at this moment...

But Ning Wan's current reaction fell in Chen Mo's ears, like teasing discourse filled with fondness, making the two appear affectionate to outsiders, enough to make others envious.

Just then, a voice called from outside: "Aunt Ning, are you asleep yet?"

The room instantly fell silent.

Hearing Liang Xue's words, Ning Wan felt a panic overwhelming her, exemplary intelligence now a frantic mess: "What to do? What to do? Xue'er is here. Why is she here..."

However, when she thought Chen Mo might panic too.

She instead saw the young man's face turn slightly red.

What... was his reaction?

What was he thinking…
