NOVPUBChen Nan coughed lightly. How could he not perceive the slight doubt Yang Ruoshui harbored about his abilities?
This subtle atmosphere made him slightly uncomfortable.
A hint of embarrassment arose in his heart, but he still tried to suppress this emotion and managed a strained smile as he said, "Prison Chief Yang, have you ever considered that this situation could be because... I am by your side?"
"Hmm?" Yang Ruoshui couldn’t help but slightly frown. Her clear, autumn-water-like eyes quickly filled with confusion, and her gaze was filled with incomprehension at Chen Nan’s words. "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that? I don’t quite understand."
Seeing this, Chen Nan’s corners of his mouth lifted into a confident smile, and he slowly explained, "It’s like this, the technique I practice is the ’Mystical Technique’ of the Taoist."
"This Mystical Technique is very special. After cultivating it, my body’s yang energy becomes extremely robust."
"This kind of yang energy is not ordinary; it possesses a marvelous power that can influence the magnetic field around it."
Upon hearing this.
Yang Ruoshui’s clear pupils first showed a tinge of astonishment, as if she had heard a tale of fantasy.
Then, among that astonishment, a hint of shyness gradually appeared, and a blush spread across her cheeks.
Only then did she, like waking from a dream, recall all the past events.
She vividly remembered the few instances in the prison when she felt completely relaxed in both body and mind, which were precisely when she accompanied Chen Nan to interrogate Xu Liang.
Whenever Chen Nan was not by her side, she felt as if she had fallen into a dark mire, her mood constantly enveloped by anxiety and irritability, making her entire person tense.
This stark contrast, now that she thought about it, seemed indeed to have countless connections with the yang energy influence Chen Nan mentioned.
At this thought, her lips curled into a charming smile, resembling a blossoming flower in the morning light. Her smile spread from her lips to her twinkling eyes, which sparkled with endless tenderness.
Her cherry lips parted, and she spoke in a soft voice, "If it is as Mr. Chen says, then I indeed have a bold request."
"I have truly been tormented by this nightmare and exhaustion for a long time, completely drained of energy."
"If you could stay with me for a few days, it would allow me to escape this prolonged tension and exhaustion and thoroughly relax my body and mind."
"I wonder if Mr. Chen would be willing?" As she said this, a hint of hope and nervousness appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Chen Nan hadn’t expected Yang Ruoshui to actually invite him to accompany her for several days.
It was a bit inconvenient, given they were a single man and a single woman.
Yet, seeing her hopeful gaze.
And thinking of her ordeal with the nightmares.
Chen Nan ultimately decided to compromise.
He smiled and said, "Since Prison Chief Yang holds me in such regard, I will accompany you for a few days."
Yang Ruoshui was both shocked and delighted; she truly had not expected Chen Nan to agree to her absurd request.
Joy overflowed from her expression; her beautiful eyes immediately lit up as if the stars hidden within had been ignited.
She immediately stood up and opened a bottle of white liquor for Chen Nan.
As she bent down to pour the liquor, her neckline slightly opened, revealing a small expanse of snow-white skin.
That subtly exposed cleavage seemed to hide endless temptation, exuding an allure that tugged at the heartstrings.
When Chen Nan inadvertently glimpsed the fullness before Yang Ruoshui, his heart involuntarily trembled, and even his breathing became a bit more hurried.
Yang Ruoshui naturally sensed Chen Nan’s gaze, but as a forty-year-old woman, she didn’t feel shy. Instead, she felt a strange sense of achievement.
After all, being able to attract the attention of younger people at her age was a recognition and compliment to her!
After pouring the drinks, Yang Ruoshui’s eyes brimmed with gratitude, and the corners of her lips bore a tipsy smile, "Big favors need not be thanked with words, but let me honor you with this drink!"
Chen Nan also picked up his glass, and the two exchanged smiles before draining their glasses in one gulp.
Then, they began to relish the exquisite food while chatting about everything under the sun.
Laughter and cheerful voices echoed through the private room, creating a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
The relationship between the two had also grown much closer.
Especially Yang Ruoshui, her beautiful eyes filled with endless tenderness when she looked at Chen Nan.
Unknowingly,
a bottle of high-proof liquor was already empty.
By then, both Chen Nan and Yang Ruoshui were slightly tipsy.
Especially Yang Ruoshui, under the influence of alcohol, her cheeks were tinged with an irresistibly charming blush that spread to her ears, resembling the splendid sunset on the horizon.
Her face appeared as if kissed by the sun, ripe like a juicy peach, radiant and dripping with charm, exuding the unique allure of a mature woman.
What especially stirred Chen Nan’s heart were her eyes.
At that moment, her eyes resembled deep pools draped with a sheer layer of mist, her normally clear eyes now imbued with a touch of haze and softness.
It seemed as if there was a pool of spring water in her eyes, glistening.
Every shift of her gaze seemed to speak endless endearments, also carrying a heady fragrance of wine, captivating the soul.
It was as if there lay a mysterious world capable of deeply drawing one in, causing Chen Nan to be utterly intoxicated.
After enjoying a hearty meal,
the two got up, preparing to leave.
But Yang Ruoshui swayed delicately, her footsteps floating as if on cotton.
Chen Nan quickly stepped forward, reaching out to firmly support Yang Ruoshui’s arm.
Her arm was slender and slick through the thin fabric of her clothes.
Chen Nan could distinctly feel the warmth of her skin, as if an electric current flowed from his fingertips, sending a tingling sensation throughout his body.
"Sister Yang, let me help you," Chen Nan’s voice was deep and gentle, the concerned tone softly resonating by Yang Ruoshui’s ear.
Yang Ruoshui nodded slightly, her eyes half-open, filled with drunkenness, and her body involuntarily leaning towards Chen Nan.
She was not a promiscuous woman, but she rather liked the aura Chen Nan emitted and couldn’t help but want to get close.
Her waterfall-like hair, like playful sprites, gently brushed against Chen Nan’s cheek.
Each strand carried a faint fragrance, lingering at his nose, causing Chen Nan’s heart to quiver fiercely, his breathing growing much faster.
With one hand steadying Yang Ruoshui’s arm and the other cautiously circling her waist,
his fingers gently tightened, feeling her waist’s delicacy and softness, as if it would break with a mere grip.
Yang Ruoshui’s waist twisted slightly in his embrace.
Like a lively fish frolicking in a babbling stream, each subtle movement carried a unique allure.
Her head rested powerlessly on Chen Nan’s shoulder, her warm breath laced with the scent of alcohol as if a soft cloud rhythmically misting his neck.
That warm, moist breath caused a fine trail of goosebumps to rise on Chen Nan’s neck.
An indescribable tingling sensation spread from Chen Nan’s neck all the way to his heart.
