Sweet Adorable Wife, Please Kiss Slower! Chapter 1567

The eight golden flowers exchanged glances, attempting to dissuade Mo Jiushang from his ill-conceived notion and guide him toward a more solitary, happier existence. He grew increasingly drowsy amidst their ceaseless admonishments.

“I’m heading to the restroom.”

With a decisive exit, he bypassed the private room’s facilities and found himself in the corridor outside. After splashing water on his face, he opted to lean against the wall and doze off, reluctant to confront the eight ‘crows’ again.

Suddenly, a sharp, cold female voice pierced the air, “Director Zheng, please have some dignity!”

Startled awake, Mo Jiushang rubbed the bridge of his nose. Looking up, he witnessed a woman, her back to him, fending off an unwelcome hand. “Director Zheng,” she stated firmly, “while I am interested in cooperating with you, the control of this partnership rests with me. If you persist in such inappropriate behavior, there will be no need for further discussion.”

The voice struck him as remarkably familiar.

His hand, laden with ill-intent, retorted, “Aren’t you merely from some insignificant investment firm? Why the pretense?! Don’t forget, you were once my subordinate! Your boyfriend’s infidelity was discovered by your grandmother, who suffered a heart attack from the shock. You vanished for a night. Had my old friend, the boss, not arranged for a top cardiologist from abroad, that old woman would have passed away. Are you truly being ungrateful now? In my view, as a woman, there’s no need to strive so hard. Why not join me? I assure you a life of comfort as a wealthy lady.”

“I acknowledge the past kindness you showed me. That is precisely why I approached you for collaboration, offering a significant opportunity. However, this does not grant you the right to demand I sell myself! We have nothing further to discuss. Farewell!”

As the woman walked past, a lecherous hand once again grasped her.

“You ungrateful wretch, are you trying to lose face?”

Glancing at the hand on her shoulder, the woman swiftly executed a shoulder throw. Her assailant crumpled to the ground like a sack of bones, groaning in agony.

“Just you wait, I won’t let this go…”

With those words, he rolled his eyes and promptly fainted from the pain.

“Hmph.” The woman let out a scoff. Just as she prepared to depart, a voice called out from behind her.

“Wait.”

She turned, her eyes meeting a pair of mesmerizing, faint grayish-blue irises. Startled, the woman took an instinctive step back, glaring at him, before turning to leave as if the encounter hadn't occurred.

Mo Jiushang, with his long, imposing strides, quickly intercepted her. “It’s you.”

“Sir, I don’t believe I know you.”

Mo Jiushang gazed at her striking features and asked with uncharacteristic seriousness, “Are you willing to sleep with me?”

“…” Ji Ning was taken aback, unsure whether to laugh or cry. Five years had passed, yet he remained so direct and unrefined.

“If you’re feeling lonely, the establishment downstairs is quite accommodating.”

“Why?”

“Why, what?”

“Five years ago, you agreed. Why not this time?”

Ji Ning, clad in a form-fitting OL uniform that exuded an elite aura, looked at Mo Jiushang’s flawless face. Her fair hand reached out to touch him. Mo Jiushang allowed the contact.

Ji Ning inquired, “Do you miss sleeping with me?”

“No, I don’t.” Mo Jiushang spoke the truth; he hadn’t given her a second thought after her disappearance and had slept alone ever since.

Ji Ning inwardly scoffed. A man with such low emotional intelligence deserved his solitude.

“Then why do you wish to sleep with me now?”

“I was suddenly reminded of the feeling I had when I saw you.”

His blunt answer amused Ji Ning. “What kind of feeling was it?”

“Great.”

Ji Ning coughed awkwardly. “You can have that feeling when you sleep with other women. So, be good and don’t bother me.”

“What do you want?”

“Huh?”

“I won’t sleep with you for nothing. I’ll give you whatever you desire.”

Despite his lack of worldly common sense, Mo Jiushang grasped the concept of a transactional exchange.

Ji Ning laughed with indignation. “Then why didn’t you give me anything back then?”

Seeing the flush of anger on her cheeks, Mo Jiushang replied coolly, “You took my money.”

Ji Ning was rendered speechless.

“I even called the police.”

“… If you continue to pester me, I will call the police again.”

Having expended so much energy and foregoing sleep, Mo Jiushang felt a wave of fatigue and took her hand. “Let’s go sleep.”

“Sleep on your grandfather!”

Frustrated by a man who clearly lacked basic comprehension, Ji Ning flung his hand away. “Mo Jiushang, listen carefully. I am not a prostitute, and you cannot buy me. That night was entirely my mistake. If you’re still feeling this way in the future, please find someone else.”

With that, she turned and left swiftly. Mo Jiushang watched her retreating figure, lost in profound contemplation.

He returned to the private room and announced to the eight sisters, who were still intent on his re-education, “I have already found the woman who will bear my child.”

“Ah!? Who is it? Where is she?”

"The time is still abundant. Eventually, you will come to know."
