...

Under Chen Mo's relentless persistence, he managed to stay in Ning Wan's room.

Chen Mo embraced the beauty, indulging himself, casually glancing at the system interface. Over more than a year, he had gained only seventeen thousand experience points, even with eating Tail-eyed Spirit Fish now and then. At this rate, it would take about six more years to break through to the Second Grade.

Ning Wan kept her eyes tightly shut, just a little hum escaping from her nose. Her enchanting eyes slightly opened a slit, the battle was at rest, the sharp sword remained sheathed.

"Aunt Ning, you still haven't answered my question." Chen Mo said.

"What question?" At this moment, Ning Wan, like a little woman, was softly nestled in Chen Mo's arms, her voice gentle and tender, penetrating to the bones.

"About him and me…" Chen Mo blew a breath by Ning Wan's ear.

Ning Wan felt her delicate body tremble slightly. How could he mention him again, really he just knows how to hit the sore spot.

"You're going to kill me." Ning Wan raised her hand to smack Chen Mo's shoulder, biting her lip she said, "He and I have nothing to do with each other anymore, now I am your woman, you must not mention him again."

"I was just curious." Chen Mo bent down to give Ning Wan two quick kisses on the cheek.

"What's there to be curious about, are you a pervert…" Ning Wan's face flushed red, scratching at Chen Mo, how… how could he ask, no way can old people compare to youth, but such shameful words, she really couldn't say them out loud, she said, "Mention him again and I… I won't let you touch me."

"Fine, I won't say it then, Ning Auntie, why are you so anxious."

"At such a time, you still call me Aunt Ning."

"If I don't call you Aunt Ning, what should I call you?"

"Call me… my nickname."

"What's your nickname?"

"You…"

"That won't work, Wan'Er isn't thrilling…"

"Ugh, you bastard, you're too bad, go away go away." Ning Wan started smacking Chen Mo again.

"Haha, I really won't say it, sleep sleep."

...

A night passed.

The next morning, before dawn, while Chen Mo was still sleeping soundly, Ning Wan suddenly woke up.

In fact, the nervousness and unease in her heart from last night had not disappeared at all, she was constantly worried that their affair might be discovered by others, so she did not dare to sleep too deeply. After waking up, she hurriedly pushed the young man beside her.

"Wake up, it's almost dawn, the servants will come soon, if they see the two of us… anyway, get up quickly." Ning Wan said anxiously.

"Don't fuss, if they see, they see, who dares to gossip about my business." After being woken, Chen Mo replied irritably.

Everyone has a tendency to be grumpy when waking up, he had slept late last night, and now he was in deep sleep, naturally displeased being woken suddenly.

Although Ning Wan was not a young girl anymore, everyone harbors a young girl's heart, and for Ning Wan, Chen Mo was her new support, and having been hurt before, hearing Chen Mo's words, made her sensitive to think that Chen Mo did not like her anymore.

Crying softly, she said, "I knew it, everything you said last night was a lie, what affection, just one night and you're already impatient with me, you men are all terrible, boohoo..."

Ning Wan sat in a duck pose on the bed, covering her eyes and sobbing heavily through her nose.

Chen Mo wasn't afraid of women crying, but he was afraid of his own woman crying, hearing Ning Wan's sobs made all his drowsiness dissipate instantly, he opened his eyes, sat up, looking at Ning Wan's tear-streaked face, he coaxed:

"Wan'Er, don't cry, it's all my fault, you know, being woken during deep sleep makes anyone angry, I didn't mean it..."

Ning Wan didn't respond to Chen Mo, turned her back on him, but her sobbing quieted a bit.

Chen Mo pulled Ning Wan into his arms, the full and soft sensation flooded through him, making him hold tighter.

Although thin women looked good, those a bit fleshy were really pleasing to the eye and comfortable to hold.

Ning Wan didn't resist, instead burrowed her head into Chen Mo's chest, weeping.

Indeed, she did it on purpose, just to see how much she mattered to Chen Mo, moreover to gauge her interactions with Chen Mo…

For example, Liang Song disliked too smart women, so she played dumb in front of him.

If Liang Song didn't get the joke, she would never try to tease Liang Song.

With Chen Mo, if he didn't get up to comfort her, continued to be impatient, she might be upset, but she would note this and never act coy in front of him again.

Her reason for testing was, through interactions with Chen Mo, she realized he wasn't the stubborn and wooden kind, rather he had a bit of a child's temperament.

If Chen Mo were the stubborn "serious" type, she wouldn't cheekily do this.

Additionally, she only "acts" with those she cares about.

But she also knew that this kind of coquettish behavior needed to be measured, and it was enough.

"I... I'm just worried someone might find out, so I asked you to get up and leave first, why are you so fierce," Ning Wan patted Chen Mo's shoulder, her tears had already stopped, and her pear blossom face now carried a hint of playful teasing, her eyes exuding a touch of charm.

"It's my fault, Wan'Er, don't be angry," Chen Mo looked down and said immediately, "But I have to say, Wan'Er has become more delicate and charming, much more lively than before."

Ning Wan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and glared at Chen Mo, secretly thinking, is he trying to say it's all thanks to him?

"You'd better leave quickly, or I'll really get angry."

After some delay, the sky was already slightly brightening.

Chen Mo knew that this point was the same for Ning Wan and Han Anniang, and it would take some time for her to face it calmly.

He teased Ning Wan: "If you kiss me, I'll leave."

Chen Mo pointed to his own face.

A blush appeared on Ning Wan's cheeks, she hesitated for a moment, then slightly raised her head and kissed him.

But Chen Mo suddenly turned his face, kissing Ning Wan's lips.

Ning Wan's eyes widened, trying to pull away, but her head was held by the young man, who began to kiss her passionately.

Until she was almost out of breath, the young man finally let her go.

"You're annoying," Ning Wan's brows lowered, shyly said.

Chen Mo smiled, got dressed, and left.

After Chen Mo left, Ning Wan sat on the bed, holding her burning cheeks, a touch of sweetness spreading in her heart.

This feeling, she had never experienced it before, was so interesting.

She did not know, this is what falling in love feels like.

...

Chen Mo composed himself, silently left Ning Wan's courtyard, but just as he stepped out, Xia Zhining appeared from who knows where and said coldly: "Looks like you succeeded."

She had been waiting outside Ning Wan's courtyard for some time.

Last night, when Liang Xue came to her room to inquire about Chen Mo, Xia Zhining had sensed something odd, recalling the scene she saw outside the study that day, and since she got up early today, she came over, never expecting to really catch them.

She truly didn't understand what was so good about a woman who had been married.

"Zhining, morning, what are you doing here? I just came over to see Aunt Ning..."

"Don't pretend, I know everything," Xia Zhining interrupted Chen Mo's words.

Chen Mo: "..."

"Actually, Ning Wan and I..."

"You want to say mutual feelings, right," Xia Zhining interrupted Chen Mo again.

Chen Mo: "..."

Seeing everything was predicted, Chen Mo finally showed a trace of embarrassment, he stepped forward and pulled Xia Zhining's slender hand, speaking gently: "Zhining and I really have a tacit understanding, whatever I want to say, Zhining knows."

"You're truly hungry. Liang Xue probably already guessed about you and her, you should think about how to explain it to her," Xia Zhining glared at Chen Mo and left.

...

September 10th.

Chen Mo met Diwu Fusheng again.

After asking the servants to prepare tea, both parties sat down.

Chen Mo smiled and said: "Mr. Fusheng, long time no see, may I ask the purpose of this visit?"

"It's been over a year, seeing the Marquis again, the Marquis is still as spirited and awe-inspiring," after some courtesy, Diwu Fusheng cupped his hands toward Chen Mo and said, "I'm here again at the behest of the Prince to discuss the matter of the Fengzhou Celestial Master Army with the Marquis."

Chen Mo took a sip of tea.

"In your secret letter to the Prince, you mentioned demanding the fourteen cities on the north bank of Fengzhou, and a navy of five thousand men. The way you're eating this up is a bit too unsightly, not only violating the way of a gentleman but also going against the treaty we signed on the Huai River," Diwu Fusheng said.

When we swore blood-oaths on the Huai River, it was agreed that if one party to the treaty went to war with a third-party power, the other party to the treaty would not provide any support to the third-party power," Diwu Fusheng said.

Chen Mo put down the teacup, frowned, and said: "Is the envoy here to bring charges?"

As the teacup landed with a sound, Chen Mo's voice was slightly cold: "I have always abided by the treaty, may I ask the envoy, so far, have I violated any clause of the treaty?"

Until now, he had never expressed any intention to support the Celestial Master Army, and since he hadn't done so, how could there be talk of treaty violation?

Diwu Fusheng was stunned for a moment, and upon thinking carefully, indeed there was none, he said: "Then why is the Marquis demanding the fourteen cities on the north bank of Fengzhou and a navy from the Prince? Doesn't this imply that if the Prince doesn't comply, the Marquis would support the Celestial Master Army?"

"Pa," Chen Mo slammed the table heavily, though he didn't use any strength, the table remained intact, he said sternly: "Envoy, you can eat indiscriminately but you can't talk indiscriminately, for things I haven't done, if the envoy insists on placing blame on me, what is the intention?

The envoy also said I violated the way of a gentleman, please tell me which part of the gentleman's way I violated? Instead, it is Prince Huai, knowing that I come from the Celestial Master Army and have some ties with them, yet Prince Huai not only crusades against the Celestial Master Army, surrounding it in Fengzhou, but also forbids me to aid them, is this not making me a heartless and unrighteous person?

For getting such a bad reputation, is it not reasonable for me to only demand fourteen cities and a navy from Prince Huai? Besides, did not Prince Huai personally write in the secret letter that if I did not aid, there would be great thanks, is that a lie?"

After saying this, Chen Mo tapped the table again.
