When Ning Zhi saw Jin Yu enter, panic flashed in his eyes. Before he could speak, Wang Yan sarcastically said, “Ning Zhi, didn’t you say you won’t entertain clients? Who is this person? You’re refusing to please me.”

Ning Zhi turned away, trying to stay calm. Wang Yan assumed his panic was due to lying, laughed, and left, saying, “Ning Zhi, I’ll come find you tomorrow.”

After Wang Yan left, Ning Zhi attempted to smile at Jin Yu but couldn’t manage even a forced smile.

His desperate heart could no longer bear it, and he finally hugged her, crying, “Why did you leave me?”

Ning Zhi looked at Jin Yu, tears welling in her eyes. She rushed into Jin Yu’s embrace, trembling with excitement, her tears streaming down her face. He had finally waited for this moment; his cold body and heart felt warmth again.

Jin Yu hugged him back. She knew his feelings. It wasn’t that she didn’t love him before, but she feared betrayal.

Suddenly, the door swung open, and Wang Yan stood at the doorway, seething with anger. “Ning Zhi, do you really think she will like you? She’s only here to placate you because of your looks.”

Ning Zhi laughed coldly, “And what about you? Are you here because of my looks?”

Wang Yan was stunned. “So what? While you can still bear children, I’ll allow you to bear my offspring.”

Ning Zhi said nothing. Wang Yan, furious, continued, “I’ve already agreed to make you a concubine. What more do you want? If this isn’t enough, I’ll marry you as my thirteenth wife.” He wouldn’t have brought back someone with such a dirty background if he didn’t intend to use her beauty.

Wang Yan finally left in a rage.

Jin Yu held Ning Zhi’s hand comfortingly, “The Wang family will disappear when we leave Shi Li Town.”

Ning Zhi was stunned. He didn’t know how Jin Yu would handle the Wang family, but he was aware of her occasional cruelty. While she was usually tolerant, when provoked, the consequences could be severe. Leaning into Jin Yu’s embrace, he smiled warmly.

Jin Mo was determined to make Xiao Lian hers today. Though married for half a year, her husband still flirted with the maids. She was concerned about what might happen if things went wrong.

A cool breeze swept over, exposing Xiao Lian’s entire body, leaving him extremely embarrassed. His heart raced as he tried to pull the bedding over himself, noticing Jin Mo’s increasing intensity. In a panic, he reached out to cover her eyes. “You’re not allowed to look…”

Xiao Lian’s skin was smooth and tender, tantalizingly visible. Jin Mo couldn’t resist touching it, drawn to the soft sensation. “Let’s do something else today,” she suggested.

“

Seeing Jin Mo on top of him, Xiao Lian thought of Jin Yu pressing down on Su Yi, his face growing hotter. “You, what are you doing? Don’t hurt me…” His gaze wandered, unable to meet Jin Mo’s eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.

“It won’t hurt,” Jin Mo reassured.

Xiao Lian’s heart raced, recalling the scene at the Beauty House. Nervously yet determined, he said, “You’ve taken off my clothes, so you must take off yours too… And… I want to be on top…” He became bolder, shaking his nose. “You’ll be obedient, and I’ll take good care of you…”

Jin Mo’s face stiffened momentarily, looking at Xiao Lian with a strange expression. Annoyed, Xiao Lian said, “What are you looking at? Stop staring!”

After a moment, Jin Mo flipped over, allowing Xiao Lian to lie on top of her, her eyes filled with a thick smile. “As you wish.”

Underneath him, Xiao Lian’s face grew even hotter. This person had held him many times, but this was the first time he was on top. He discovered how charming she was and couldn’t help but anticipate what would happen next.

Seeing Xiao Lian’s infatuated gaze, Jin Mo felt satisfied. She pulled his hand to help undress. “We need to take off our clothes first.”

“

Xiao Lian’s face was embarrassed, his hand slightly trembling, trying to appear composed. “I know, you don’t need to tell me.”

Although he said this, Xiao Lian didn’t dare to reach out and undress. His gaze slowly moved downward, curiously staring, wanting to remove his pants but hesitating. Images of Jin Yu and Su Yi’s wedding night flashed in his mind. He looked at his own swollen area, swallowed, feeling his face burning.

Xiao Lian gradually woke up, suddenly feeling too ashamed to look at him. Jin Mo laughed and said, “Want to do it again?”

Xiao Lian lowered his head, not daring to look up, his voice like a mosquito’s buzz, “Shameless…”

Jin Mo released him, preparing to get more intimate. Xiao Lian thought she was leaving and hurriedly grabbed her hand, blushing, “I, I… I like…” turning away in embarrassment, “I still want…”

Jin Mo leaned down and kissed him, a lingering kiss that made Xiao Lian dizzy and intoxicated…

Jin Mo’s eyes were full of desire. She had never been with a man before, and while others her age would have had several children by now, she was still untouched.

When Jin Mo sat down, Xiao Lian was in such pain that he broke out in a cold sweat, softly sobbing, “It hurts, it hurts… oh… I want to be on top… down below hurts…”

Later, waves of pleasure washed over him, striking his nerves, making him involuntarily moan, biting his red lips. Jin Mo affectionately laughed, “So you know how to be shy too.

Xiao Lian glared at her, overwhelmed by pleasure and unable to resist the stimulation.

[The text continues with descriptions of their relationship, including Xiao Lian becoming pregnant and their life together, ending with a family gathering where Xiao Lian feels content with his choice.]

Chen Bi looked at Su Jin’s daughter in a daze, choosing not to remarry. He had waited five years and would continue to wait, even until the next life, to tell her he would not hurt her heart again.

Chen Bi disregarded Su Jin’s words. The next day, Su Jin excitedly dressed him up, pasting wedding double happiness characters in the house. Chen Bi took a character, lost in thought, and asked, “Is there a happy event in the family?”

“There are plenty,” Su Jin replied, stroking her belly with a bright smile. “When the wife brings that person back, I will tell her I am pregnant again.”

“Jin’er, Jin’er, the Big Master is here—” Ke He’s voice rang out in the courtyard. Su Jin responded, urging Chen Bi to get ready before heading out.

Is it her?

Chen Bi trembled, looking at his reflection in the bronze mirror, his eyes moistening.

She came to see him.

Jin Yu brought Chen Bi back to the mountain.

Chen Bi asked, “Why did you suddenly think of me?”

Jin Yu hugged him without speaking. Yun Mei had once leaned in her arms and said, “Do you really have nothing left in your heart? If…”

She believed she couldn’t let go of him, thinking he still held her in his heart.

Chen Bi returned to the quiet mountain again. Later, he asked Su Xi, “If someone threatened your loved ones to make you harm your partner—what would you choose?”

Su Xi was stunned. “Are you talking about the wife? I don’t know what you mean, but I would tell her. She would solve it.” Su Xi trusted Jin Yu.

Chen Bi fell silent and asked Xu Yi, who was organizing clothes for his daughter. Seeing his daughter climb onto the chair and laugh, Xu Yi hurried over to hold her. “Xin’er, don’t scare daddy.” His emotions calmed as he realized both children were fine. The dragon and phoenix twins worried him but also brought him joy.

Xu Yi turned to Chen Bi, showing a serious expression. “The wife is my most important person. I will never do anything bad to her.” Xu Yi was devoted to Jin Yu.

When Chen Bi asked Yun Mei, she responded seriously, “Are the lives of the Su family important? Don’t the countless subordinates who have followed the wife through life and death matter?”
