NOVPUB"What?"
Chen Nan stared at Nie Xiaoyu with a face full of shock, a thick layer of goosebumps covering his body.
At that moment,
he thought he was hallucinating.
He had not expected Nie Xiaoyu to actually suggest sleeping together.
Although she had confessed her feelings to him over the phone before,
but...
Wasn’t this moving too fast?
Seeing Chen Nan’s shocked expression, Nie Xiaoyu’s face turned beet red, feeling as if her cheeks were on fire, while butterflies rampaged inside her.
As a traditional and conservative girl,
she didn’t know how she had managed to say such a thing.
Seeing that Chen Nan did not reply for a long time, Nie Xiaoyu felt a wave of disappointment but still managed a strained smile and said, "If you don’t want to, then forget it." Then she turned and entered the room in a somewhat embarrassed manner and closed the door.
Only after hearing the door close did Chen Nan come back to his senses, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
He couldn’t deny,
that when he heard Nie Xiaoyu wanted to sleep with him,
his heart had fluttered.
Because Nie Xiaoyu fulfilled all his fantasies of a virtuous wife and good mother after marriage.
But...
Nie Xiaoyu’s life had been too hard.
So hard that Chen Nan couldn’t bear to touch even a single hair on her.
Because he knew,
he simply wasn’t worthy of Nie Xiaoyu!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Nan tried to calm his emotions, picked up the medicinal herbs he’d bought, and entered the kitchen to start preparing the scar removal cream.
Making scar removal cream was a task that tested one’s patience and consumed a lot of energy.
But thinking about the fifty thousand yuan he would earn from these herbs after the cream was made, Chen Nan felt very pleased and excited.
Because even without depending on anyone, he could earn his living through his own abilities!
Time flew swiftly.
The next day,
just as Chen Nan had placed the freshly made scar removal cream into containers, Nie Xiaoyu emerged from her room, sleepy-eyed.
Seeing Chen Nan busy in the kitchen, she couldn’t help but come over and ask with concern, "Did you stay up all night again? How can your body take this?"
Chen Nan smiled and said, "It’s Saturday today, I don’t have class, it’s fine."
Nie Xiaoyu didn’t say much else, softly saying, "You go rest for a bit first. I braised some meat last night and also prepared the dough. I’ll make some pork buns in a bit, and we can eat in over ten minutes!" Then she entered the bathroom to wash up before starting to prepare breakfast.
She had once sold pork buns from a street stall, and was quite skilled at it.
Chen Nan also took the opportunity to take a cold shower, washing off the pungent smell of traditional medicine from his body. When he changed his clothes and came out, there were already three pork buns on the dining table.
The buns were stuffed with plenty of meat, as well as green Sichuan pepper, just one glance at them was enough to whet the appetite.
Beyond that,
there were also pickled cucumbers and half a serving of braised goose.
Nie Xiaoyu quietly sat at the dining table eating her meal. "After you finish eating, go sleep for a bit. I need to go to the hospital. I’ll try my best to come back by noon to make lunch," she said.
Chen Nan said, "You don’t have to rush back for that, the pot still has braised meat, I can just cook some noodles or steam some rice."
Nie Xiaoyu shook her head, "My job is to take care of your three meals a day, I can’t skip work."
Just as she finished speaking,
her newly bought domestic smartphone rang. Seeing the number on the screen, she stood up, walked aside, and pressed the answer button.
"Oh, okay, I understand, Auntie!"
After a brief chat, Nie Xiaoyu hung up the phone and returned to the dining table with a distracted look, bowing her head to eat breakfast.
Seeing her low spirits, Chen Nan asked with concern, "What’s wrong, Xiaoyu?"
Nie Xiaoyu raised her head, her eyes flashing with tension, "Chen Nan, can I... can I get an advance on my salary for two months?"
"Even one month’s would be okay!"
Nie Xiaoyu’s face flushed with shame, as Chen Nan had already prepaid her one month’s salary before.
And now, having just arrived at Chen Nan’s home three days ago, asking for two months’ salary in advance was somewhat embarrassing for her to articulate.
Chen Nan knew that Nie Xiaoyu’s grandfather was hospitalized, and certain that many expenses must be met, he immediately said, "Is two months’ salary enough?"
Nie Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly, "Enough, enough!"
Chen Nan hummed and took out his mobile phone to transfer twenty thousand yuan to her, smiling, "Since we’re both eating from the same bowl now, feel free to ask for money anytime you need it."
He was glad that he had sold ten scar removal creams yesterday and made fifty thousand yuan; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had so much money when Nie Xiaoyu asked for an advance.
Nie Xiaoyu’s voice choked, "Thank you."
After breakfast.
Nie Xiaoyu finished up the housework and then left the house.
Chen Nan went back to his room, sat cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
He had cultivated for just over half an hour and felt rejuvenated, sweeping away the fatigue from staying up all night making scar removal cream.
Having nothing else to do. 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓅𝓊𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
He picked up his phone and sent a message to Su Qing: Auntie, want to come over?
After two years of living in the mountains, Chen Nan’s personality had greatly changed; previously, he liked to roam malls, visit arcade centers, and watch movies.
But now.
He preferred quiet.
And disliked crowded places.
Of course.
He also developed a new hobby.
That was liking women.
Su Qing might have been a bit busy and didn’t see Chen Nan’s message, nor did she reply.
As Chen Nan hesitated whether to send a message to Zhu Keren or not,
The doorbell rang.
He went to the door and, looking through the peephole, saw the beautiful aunt Su Qing, panting slightly, and adjusting her hair at the doorway. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes sparkled appealingly.
Chen Nan’s smile lifted his lips, and he immediately opened the door to see Su Qing holding a canvas bag, curiously asking, "Auntie, why are you carrying a bag?"
"Not telling you!" Su Qing, wearing a deep blue cheongsam skirt and black high heels, her face adorned with an enchanting smile, exuded the allure of a mature woman.
Chen Nan casually closed the door, pressing her against it, his face also displaying a slightly mischievous smile, "Do you believe, I could make you cry right now?"
Su Qing’s eyes burned fiercely as she shot back, undaunted, "Then do you believe, Auntie can drain you today? Leave you so weak you can’t get out of bed?" she even cocked an eyebrow, truly seductive and enticing.
Chen Nan’s smile grew broader, "Can Auntie really drain me?"
Su Qing’s face turned pink, "Why don’t we try and see?"
"Then let’s try it!" Chen Nan’s eyes blazed, and he immediately picked up Su Qing to head to the bedroom.
When they reached the bathroom door, Su Qing in Chen Nan’s arms flushed and whispered softly, "Baby, go back to the bedroom and wait for Auntie; Auntie has prepared a surprise for you, and I promise you’ll love it when you see it!"
Chen Nan’s voice was parched, "Can’t you give me a hint beforehand?"
Su Qing, cheeks glowing with shyness, "If I told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise."
"Alright, I’ll go back to the room and wait for Auntie." Chen Nan reluctantly put Su Qing down and then went back to the room to lay on the bed, anxiously waiting.
About ten minutes later, a faint knocking sound came from the door, followed by an enchanting voice, "Baby, I’m here!"
