"I am utterly fond of him!"
"Just presenting a cake seems so lacking in sincerity. I intend to bestow myself upon him as a grand coming-of-age offering!" Huang Ruirui lifted a wine goblet, her head canted slightly, revealing a graceful swan-like neck and delicate collarbones that commanded notice.
Lin Yiren suddenly felt a peculiar unease, whispering, "Ruirui, please reconsider. He is my brother-in-law, and holds a significant place in my husband's affections. He has only just reached adulthood. If you make a move on him now, my husband will undoubtedly be displeased if he discovers it."
Huang Ruirui let out an enigmatic smile, "Is it truly your husband who would be angered, or is it you who feels a pang of jealousy?"
"What baseless talk is this? How could I possibly be envious of you?" Lin Yiren retorted with irritation, yet the rapid thumping of her heart involuntarily betrayed her innermost feelings.
She couldn't quite fathom why, but upon hearing Huang Ruirui's expressed desire for Xu Wendong, a sudden void opened within her, reminiscent of a cherished toy being unexpectedly snatched away.
Certainly.
She wouldn't have minded gifting the toys she fancied to Huang Ruirui; however...
When it came to Xu Wendong, he had never belonged to her in the first place.
To articulate it plainly.
She harbored a profound desire for Xu Wendong's untouched purity.
This stemmed from a persistent, unseen thorn embedded in her heart. Normally, it caused little distress, but whenever the memory resurfaced, it inflicted an ache so sharp it threatened to steal her breath.
She and Xu Wenjian had been university companions, and Xu Wenjian was also her very first love. On their wedding night, she offered him her maiden experience.
As Xu Wenjian had claimed, they were each other's initial romantic encounter.
However, not long thereafter, Lin Yiren made a heart-wrenching discovery: Xu Wenjian had maintained a relationship with a girlfriend throughout high school, a union that was quite established. Had Xu Wenjian not gained admission to university, they would have been betrothed.
This revelation left her profoundly wounded, as Xu Wenjian had deliberately misled her, asserting he had never had a girlfriend and falsely claiming their wedding night marked their respective first times.
From that moment, a chasm of alienation grew within Lin Yiren; she felt she had been shortchanged, having surrendered her initial intimacy to a man who was not a virgin.
Huang Ruirui offered another captivating smile, "Your silence shall be interpreted as your consent!"
Lin Yiren's cheeks flushed as she replied, "Given our profound bond, it is inconceivable that I would harbor jealousy. My primary concern is that my husband might discover your entwinement."
"It is hardly a substantial matter; merely ply your husband with drink, and if any inclinations arise within you, we can indulge in recklessness together. Beyond that, all other actions have already transpired." Huang Ruirui shared a knowing glance with Lin Yiren.
Lin Yiren's heart began to pound with alarming speed, "Cease this, I implore you, cease this; I could never bring myself to commit such an act."
Huang Ruirui refrained from further discourse. While she harbored a desire for shared abandon with Lin Yiren, she also understood that certain endeavors could not be hastened and required a patient, gradual approach.
She savored the foot massage being administered by Xu Wendong, then turned her gaze to Xu Wenjian, remarking, "Xu Wenjian, I offer a toast to you. Hmmm, I shall take it easy; you, however, must finish your drink!"
"Such happiness is a rare occurrence today. I shall bravely accompany you in this!" Xu Wenjian, completely unaware of Huang Ruirui's subtle machinations, raised his glass and downed the baijiu in a single gulp.
His profession in sales within a pharmaceutical firm necessitated frequent social engagements, and he possessed a considerable tolerance for alcohol, typically able to consume close to a jin of baijiu.
However, today had already involved an extensive drinking session with clients during lunch, and he was still feeling the lingering effects. Consequently, after merely half a jin of baijiu, his face had erupted in a flush, resembling the vivid hue of a monkey's posterior.
His vision swam, and his speech grew indistinct.
"Wendong, your elder brother is quite inebriated. Allow me to escort him to the room for some rest." Lin Yiren steadied Xu Wenjian, who repeatedly mumbled, "I am not drunk, I can still hold my liquor," as she guided him into the bedroom.
The dining area was now left with only Xu Wendong and Huang Ruirui. The woman propped her delicate cheek with one hand, her gaze fixed lovingly on Xu Wendong with a gentle smile, inquiring, "Are my feet proving amusing to handle?"
Xu Wendong visibly flinched, instinctively releasing Lin Yiren's exquisitely formed foot. He stammered nervously, "Sister Ruirui, you seem to exhibit signs of spleen deficiency; it would be advisable for you to consume foods that fortify the spleen."
Huang Ruirui's voice adopted a captivating allure, "Are sister's feet indeed soft? Do they offer a pleasant sensation to the touch?"
Xu Wendong offered an affirmative nod.
Huang Ruirui bestowed upon Xu Wendong a look brimming with intrigue, "Then, would you perhaps desire to touch something even softer?"
Xu Wendong felt an inexplicable dryness in his mouth, his body instinctively inclined towards nodding. Yet, catching sight of the woman's playful smirk, he suddenly regained his senses. Perhaps she was merely toying with him, intending to witness his embarrassment, was it not so?
Considering a beauty of such caliber, even if he were to express a desire to touch something softer, would she actually acquiesce?
"My head feels a bit fuzzy; I'll return to my room now." Xu Wendong hastily retreated, regretting his earlier decision to touch Huang Ruirui's foot.
Naturally, he couldn't solely shoulder the blame; the woman's irresistible allure was a significant factor.
Her appearance, her curvaceous physique, and the mature aura she exuded were all captivating, presenting a significant challenge for Xu Wendong, a naive and inexperienced young man, to resist.
Observing Xu Wendong's embarrassed departure, Huang Ruirui lightly clenched her fist, tinted with powder, "Little one, can you truly escape from my Five-Finger Mountain?"
------
Whoosh!
Inside a disheveled spare room, Xu Wendong leaned against the door, drawing in deep breaths of the available air. He had consumed over half a jin of baijiu earlier, leaving him feeling somewhat lightheaded.
However, this sensation paled in comparison to the overwhelming magnetism emanating from Huang Ruirui. He remained unsure of her motives for placing her feet on his lap, but he was certain she was likely intentionally provoking him.
Should he have succumbed to his primal instincts and lost control, he would have undoubtedly become a complete laughingstock.
"That woman is far too formidable; I must maintain my distance." Xu Wendong took several deep breaths to compose himself, then retrieved his backpack, sat on the bed, and produced a purple sandalwood box, measuring twenty centimeters in length and fifteen centimeters in width.
This box was a keepsake from his grandfather, who had instructed him not to open it until his eighteenth birthday, stating it held the key to his origins.
And that significant day had finally arrived.
With anticipation, he unlatched the box, revealing a letter within.
Upon perusing the contents, Xu Wendong grasped his lineage, yet his expression was devoid of joy, replaced instead by a palpable murderous intent.
He hailed from a prominent family in Jingdu, where his father was designated as the heir. However, just as his father was poised to assume control of the family, his paternal uncles, the second and third brothers, staged a rebellion. They not only orchestrated his father's demise but also issued threats against him as an infant and his mother, who was still recovering from childbirth.
Fortunately, his mother encountered Xu Jianghe during his visit to old acquaintances in Jingdu. She entrusted her infant son to him before disappearing, her fate remaining unknown.
In addition to his familial revelations, the box contained two ancient texts. The first, which his grandfather had not imparted to him, was titled "Mysterious Gate Ghost Hand," a medical tome.
The second was a cultivation technique known as "Dragon-Phoenix Creation Art." His grandfather had mentioned in his final words that powerful adversaries were arrayed against them and would eventually seek him out to eliminate any lingering threat. His only recourse was diligent cultivation; failure to do so would invite great calamity.
Furthermore, the "Dragon-Phoenix Creation Art" possessed the potential to transform him into a formidable master.
However, the "Dragon-Phoenix Creation Art" was an exceptionally rare dual cultivation method.
This implied that to achieve greater strength, he would require the company of numerous women; their essence was crucial for his advancement.
"Grandfather, I lack both wealth and influence, making it challenging to even find a suitable partner for marriage, let alone procreation. Yet, you've bequeathed me this cultivation technique that relies on women," Xu Wendong murmured with a wry smile.
"Brother Wendong, I am feeling slightly unwell. Would you be so kind as to give me a massage?" Huang Ruirui's voice suddenly echoed.
Xu Wendong flinched, spinning around to find Huang Ruirui leaning against the doorway, her gaze alluring as she playfully bit her lip.
A black spaghetti strap dress accentuated her stunning figure, particularly her chest, causing Xu Wendong's eyes to widen and his heart to race. He stammered, "Sister Ruirui, it has grown quite late today. Perhaps tomorrow would be more suitable?"
Huang Ruirui, her delicate feet bare, glided gracefully towards him, her presence seemingly ethereal. A faint, mischievous smile played on her lips as she inquired, "What is it, are you perhaps afraid I might devour you?"
