Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Ning Wan: How Could She Lower Herself to Serve Others

“You mustn’t call me… Wan’Er.”

Being called by her nickname by someone several years younger, Ning Wan always felt a bit uneasy, and said, “Aren’t you afraid of Xue’Er finding out?”

“Let her find out, who cares? You had nothing to do with her anyway, and the only connection you had was broken when Liang Song abandoned you.”

Chen Mo kissed Ning Wan’s lip corner. For some reason, he felt Ning Wan was like aged wine, rich and full of flavor, more intoxicating than new wine.

“Liang Song doesn’t want you, but I do, Wan’Er. Let me take care of you for the rest of your life.” After speaking, he bent down and bit her.

The beautiful lady with delicate features held Chen Mo’s head, her face blushing like a bright red evening glow, full of shame and anger, feeling her outer robe being pulled and her collar being undone. Though she hadn’t had a child, she felt like she was nurturing one, biting her lower lip, her plump and glossy lips forming a faint white mark, and said:

“You…enough, you may not fear Xue’Er finding out, but I do.”

“Then I’ll go call Xue’Er over.” Chen Mo mumbled indistinctly.

Ning Wan: “…”

Ning Wan’s cheeks flushed red like sunset, watching the young man devour recklessly as if competing with someone for food. If someone witnessed this scene now, she would surely die of embarrassment.

Yet she was truly afraid that Chen Mo would call Liang Xue over, so she could only let him enjoy to his heart’s content.

After a long time, Chen Mo looked up at Ning Wan: “Wan’Er is truly more beautiful than flowers.”

Ning Wan pushed Chen Mo away, trying to get up from his embrace. Her mouth slightly curved with the charm and shyness of a young woman, saying: “You’ve taken your fill of advantage, and it’s getting late; you should leave now.”

“Leave?” Chen Mo wrapped his arm around Ning Wan’s waist, pulling her back to sit down, gently stroking her rounded, upturned bottom, which, like An Niang’s, had something extraordinary compared to a grinding stone. He patted it lightly, causing her to glare angrily, and he could only restrain himself a bit, speaking softly:

“I’m staying with Wan’Er tonight, not going back.”

As soon as he said this, Ning Wan was shocked.

As someone with experience, she knew what would happen if Chen Mo didn’t go back tonight.

She estimated that he would consume her completely.

Before she could say anything, Chen Mo picked her up and headed towards the bed.

Seeing Chen Mo actually serious about it, Ning Wan struggled fiercely again.

Soon, she felt her bottom land on the bed, her shoulders cool as the white nightgown slipped off, smooth and white.

The room was quite silent, Ning Wan could hear the young man swallow.

Lowering her head to glance down, Ning Wan hurried to pull her clothes, only to have her hand taken away by Chen Mo.

Feeling Chen Mo’s intense gaze on her, especially at the moment the fruit was picked, Ning Wan shuddered involuntarily.

Then her shoulders were gently pushed by Chen Mo, her body seeming powerless as it fell onto the bed.

Watching him approach, Ning Wan hurriedly said, “I… I got my period today.”

Chen Mo paused.

Ning Wan pressed her hand to Chen Mo’s chest, her cheeks burning as she turned her head away, not daring to meet Chen Mo’s eyes, her other hand sideways on her cheek as if concealing something, saying: “I only discovered during my bath earlier.”

Chen Mo removed her hand.

Ning Wan trembled, thinking he would force his way through.

He gently stroked her cheek, rose from the bed, and spoke softly: “I’m sorry for being a bit abrupt. Are you in pain? I’ll rub your tummy if you are.”

“No…no need, it’s not that painful.” Ning Wan retreated to avoid him.

“I’ll make you a bowl of brown sugar water. Last time when you got your period, you looked so weary; you should take better care of yourself.” Chen Mo pulled a nearby blanket over her and then left the room.

Ning Wan: “…”

Seeing Chen Mo not only believe her but also go to prepare brown sugar water, Ning Wan suddenly felt embarrassed.

Especially since he remembered how she looked last time when she was in discomfort.

Indeed, being liked by Chen Mo was something Ning Wan should feel fortunate about.

After all, she was abandoned first by Liang Song and then by the Ning Family, all alone in Yu State, without a place to turn to, completely isolated.

In these chaotic times, she remained an ordinary person who needed someone to rely on.

Especially since Chen Mo was not only attractive, but also capable, of notable status, she had every reason to be happy.

Yet the reason she lied to Chen Mo about her period was because she was worried…

Worried that Chen Mo’s interest was fleeting, merely wanting to play with her body, and once over, he would abandon her like Liang Song did.

Her concern was primarily due to her being older than him and having been married. With such circumstances, she felt no one could truly like her unless it was simply a craving for her body.

Therefore, she didn’t want Chen Mo to succeed so easily.

She understood men well; as long as she didn’t let the other party succeed completely and periodically offered a bit of sweetness, they would maintain their enthusiasm.

If she allowed a man to have everything at once, all freshness would be lost.

If she weren’t married and was still a young maiden of fifteen or sixteen, she wouldn’t need to use such tactics.

But she’s not at that stage; her biggest asset is her body, and she can only do this.

Of course, if Chen Mo forcibly pushed through, there’s nothing she could do.

She’s scared of being abandoned again.

…

Soon, Chen Mo returned with a steaming bowl of brown sugar water.

He personally cooled the temperature to be suitable and fed Ning Wan spoon by spoon.

Chen Mo’s actions only made Ning Wan feel more embarrassed.

“Alright, get some rest early to avoid what happened last time.” Chen Mo tucked Ning Wan in, ready to tidy up and leave, when Ning Wan suddenly tugged at the hem of his clothing.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Mo turned back, speaking warmly.

Ning Wan knew she couldn’t reveal the truth right now. Pressing her lips together, she suddenly summoned the courage to look up at the young man: “I spoiled your mood, I can compensate in other ways.”

Chen Mo was startled.

In other ways, his gaze drifted downward before returning upward, resting on her plump, glossy cherry lips and feeling a surge of heat.

“Don’t…don’t get any ideas.” Ning Wan’s delicate brows furrowed, her cheeks turning increasingly crimson like the evening glow, her voice barely a whisper, “I…can let you taste again…”

Ning Wan was referring to Chen Mo’s previous actions.

Her words ignited the fire in Chen Mo’s eyes, and he audaciously said, “Can I choose myself?”

“Hmm?” Ning Wan furrowed her brows, her jade-like face showing confusion, her beautiful eyes blinking.

Chen Mo leaned in, murmuring a few words into Ning Wan’s ear.

Ning Wan was stunned, then her head felt blazing hot as if about to smoke, despite her timid nature, she couldn’t help but scold: “How shamelessly vulgar…utterly absurd.”

Even though she was no longer the Prefect’s Wife nor the Ning Family’s legitimate daughter, she wouldn’t lower herself to serve anyone.

This person is simply too…

Moreover, such things she had never even heard of.

Ning Wan’s heart shook with anger, so stunned she was rendered speechless, still feeling unjust, she pinched Chen Mo and cursed: “How can you degrade me so…”

From childhood, Ning Wan had adhered to the rules. Although she had expanded her knowledge from some romantic books, she had never tried them.

Liang Song was quite stern and a bit dull, making love was by the book, treating each other with respect.

“No way, leave now, it’s too absurd.” Still feeling unjust, Ning Wan’s earlier embarrassment had now dissolved, her graceful brows raised, her heart filled with indignant shame.

Her worries seemed correct; this person is indeed after her body.

The so-called affection was just sweet talk to win her to bed.

Clearly, such things were intolerable for her.

Yet she hadn’t realized, or perhaps refused to admit, that there lay a strand of inappropriate anticipation in her heart.

Perhaps years of adhering to norms, combined with Liang Song and Ning Family’s abandonment, made Ning Wan want to rebel once.

But she buried these thoughts deep, hiding them securely.

Seeing Ning Wan’s strong reaction, even more so than Xia Zhining in the past, Chen Mo felt awkward: “I was just saying, don’t take it seriously.”

Ning Wan: “…”

How could she not take it seriously?
