Lu Sui had no reaction whatsoever.

Wu Mangmang immediately understood – she hadn’t hit the right spot. It seemed this was about another matter.

Wu Mangmang opened her mouth to explain, but Lu Sui’s blanket was really too warm. Although the Lu mansion wasn’t cold at all, all the winter scenery made people think of coldness.

Wu Mangmang couldn’t help moving closer to Lu Sui. Her hand slowly slid toward Lu Sui’s waist, wanting to hold him while sleeping.

A man’s body was different from a woman’s softness – it had the firmness of a baguette.

Wu Mangmang gently squeezed, but Lu Sui grabbed her hand and forcefully moved it back to her own body.

Everyone was tired and it wasn’t time for fooling around. Wu Mangmang obediently stopped teasing Lu Sui, closed her eyes, and quickly fell unconscious.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Shen Ting had been summoned by Ning Zheng’s phone call.

“How did you end up like this, just for such a wild chicken?” Shen Ting sat down beside Ning Zheng’s hospital bed.

“Such a bad temper. Sorry for digging you out of your gentle embrace,” Ning Zheng said.

Recently Shen Ting had a new girlfriend whom he’d brought out to meet people twice.

“To numb your family’s old man and that woman, isn’t this act going too far?” Shen Ting asked again.

“What act? So what if she’s a wild chicken? As long as she’s skilled at gripping,” Ning Zheng said carelessly. “Got any cigarettes?”

“No,” Shen Ting refused flatly. Knowing Ning Zheng would have his rebellious episodes around New Year, he didn’t want to stimulate him further.

“Wu Mangmang got involved again?” Shen Ting changed the topic.

“That girl has something wrong with her brain. She’s just a violence maniac who probably wanted to fight. She doesn’t even know how to call the police. If Lu Sui marries her, the next generation’s genes are worrying,” Ning Zheng mocked.

Though he said this, he couldn’t help thinking about Wu Mangmang.

In all of Ning Zheng’s life, besides his mother protecting him when he was little, Wu Mangmang was the first person to do so.

Last time she also snatched back his wallet. Thinking about it, Ning Zheng couldn’t help but smile.

When she tackled him to the ground, Ning Zheng could still remember the fragrance at her neck and her warm body temperature.

Neither seemed interested in continuing this topic.

After a moment of silence, Shen Ting said, “Does Yuanzi know about your injury?”

Ning Zheng said, “I didn’t tell her.”

Somehow, Ning Zheng thought again of what Wu Mangmang had said about licking shit – really not a good phrase.

“I plan to break off the engagement with Yuanzi. I’ve thought about it – this is too selfish toward her. She deserves someone better,” Ning Zheng said.

“Didn’t we agree on removing the firewood from under the pot? Why change your mind and just hand over the Ning family to that stepbrother of yours?” Shen Ting raised an eyebrow.

Ning Zheng sighed, “I figured it out. I don’t believe I can’t earn my own Ning family. Who laughs last is still uncertain.”

Shen Ting stood up and patted Ning Zheng’s shoulder, “Alright, whatever decision you make, your brother will only support you. Handle Yuanzi’s side properly – she’s not easy to dismiss.”

Ning Zheng hummed in agreement, then asked again, “Really no cigarettes?”

Shen Ting finally pulled out a pack, and the two men smoked silently.

In the morning, when Wu Mangmang woke up, she was lying on Lu Sui’s chest.

Lu Sui had one hand reaching under her neck and gently resting on her back. Their bodies were very intimate.

Wu Mangmang felt a happiness that made her reluctant to move, thinking, so this is how comfortable it is to sleep with someone?

Wu Mangmang had never slept with anyone from childhood to now – not to mention men, even two women sleeping together wasn’t acceptable in this world.

So suddenly sleeping like this, she discovered it was extremely comfortable.

“Aren’t you getting up?” Lu Sui’s hand slid to Wu Mangmang’s bottom and patted it gently.

Wu Mangmang felt her butt bounce twice. She was definitely shy, so she said “oh” and arched her waist to get up.

“Ouch!” Wu Mangmang forgot about the wound on her back. Suddenly pulling like this, she cried out in pain, “Quick, check if my wound split open.”

Heaven forbid it split – it would be too easy to scar.

Lu Sui’s hand slightly lifted the gauze over Wu Mangmang’s wound. He didn’t see any blood, “Shouldn’t have split. I’ll have the doctor come check on you later.”

“But I feel like it really hurts,” Wu Mangmang said pitifully with a frown.

Lu Sui remained unmoved.

Wu Mangmang reached out to tug Lu Sui’s pajamas, “Help me blow on it, okay? If you blow on it, it won’t hurt anymore.”

“Blowing on it makes it stop hurting” was obviously something you’d say to coax children.

“Lu Sui~~” Wu Mangmang drew out her voice and started acting cute.

After about three seconds of standoff, Lu Sui still lowered his head and lifted Wu Mangmang’s nightgown to blow on her wound.

When checking if the wound had split earlier, he’d also lifted her nightgown, but he hadn’t thought much of it then. Now it was somewhat embarrassing.

Because today was New Year’s Eve, Wu Mangmang had thoughtlessly worn a pair of Chinese red lace panties.

Red particularly aroused appetite, especially when it wrapped crystal-white lychee flesh.

Wu Mangmang, hugging her pillow and lying on the bed, had no such awareness. When Lu Sui blew on her back, her heart trembled, as if she really could forget the pain.

Just like when she was little and saw other children fall down, their mothers would always say, “Mommy will blow on it and it won’t hurt anymore.”

So it really wouldn’t hurt.

Wu Mangmang felt a longing in her heart, hoping Lu Sui would never stop this action, even if it turned her into a statue.

But Wu Mangmang’s beautiful dream was ultimately awakened by Lu Sui’s bite.

Wu Mangmang angrily turned her head and glared at Lu Sui, “That’s not a steamed bun!”

Lu Sui stood up indifferently, “Get up.”

Wu Mangmang exhaled to calm her emotions and rubbed her bottom. Lu Sui’s bite had really been vicious.

Wu Mangmang walked to the bathroom, pulled down her pants, and saw a large red mark on her bottom in the mirror.

During breakfast, neither spoke.

After the doctor came to check Wu Mangmang’s wound, they set off for Lu Garden – the Lu family’s ancestral home.

The Lu family revered Chinese traditions. Everyone could play around outside during Christmas, but on New Year’s Eve, all had to gather at the ancestral home.

So Wu Mangmang opened her eyes to see many important figures.

But Wu Mangmang couldn’t join in what these people discussed – she had no interest in politics. Just using her back injury as an excuse, Lu Sui sent her upstairs to sleep.

Lu Lin’s hand gently pinched Wu Mangmang’s waist, hitting right on her wound and nearly making Wu Mangmang cry out in pain.

Lu Lin laughed, “Really injured? Lu Sui’s combat power is that strong?”

Wu Mangmang looked at Lu Lin helplessly with reproach.

Lu Lin followed Wu Mangmang into the room – she didn’t want to go downstairs either. Her aunts and sister were each more formidable than the next; she didn’t want to go down for interrogation.

“Quick, tell me about Lu Sui’s expression during your first time,” Lu Lin was obviously the type of sister who particularly wanted to see her brother embarrassed.

Wu Mangmang hesitated between telling the truth and lying, deciding to remain silent for now.

“You said last time that Lu Sui exceeded normal size, yet you could accommodate him. Seems you’re no ordinary person either,” Lu Lin smiled, teasing Wu Mangmang.

Wu Mangmang felt like she was being flirted with by a man.

“But men only care about their own pleasure, not whether women are happy. Don’t just focus on pleasing Lu Sui in this matter,” Lu Lin used this tactic: if you don’t speak, I have countless words to draw you out.

Unfortunately, although Wu Mangmang wanted to seek Lu Lin’s advice, she really hadn’t slept with anyone.

Lu Lin thought Wu Mangmang was still being shy and was about to add more fuel when Lu Sui pushed the door open.

“Lu Lin, great aunt is looking for you,” Lu Sui said.

“Aunt is looking for me – why did she trouble you to come up and call me?” Lu Lin turned to wink at Wu Mangmang.

Lu Sui couldn’t be bothered with Lu Lin, just stepped aside to clear the passage, gesturing for Lu Lin to leave.

Lu Lin understood Lu Sui well enough, “You said bad things about me to great aunt, didn’t you?”

Lu Sui said mildly, “Do I need to say bad things to deal with you?”

As Lu Lin passed Lu Sui, she shot him a “just wait” look, then left resentfully.

Wu Mangmang stared wide-eyed at Lu Sui. Did this mean he was wary of her getting too close with Lu Lin?

For some reason, Wu Mangmang really wanted to laugh.

“Sleep for a while. I won’t let anyone disturb you,” Lu Sui said, then closed the door for Wu Mangmang and left.

Wu Mangmang obediently took a nap. She’d slept too late last night and was awakened by her biological clock this morning.

Honestly, after following Lu Sui, Wu Mangmang’s habit of staying in bed had been forcibly cured by him.

The afternoon was ladies’ refined tea time. Wu Mangmang sat with them for a while, but couldn’t sit long due to her back injury. Fortunately, the elders all cared for the younger generation.

Wu Mangmang went upstairs to call Ms. Liu. She definitely wanted to spend New Year at the Wu family, but Ms. Liu and Boss Wu had taken Wu Dandan to Australia for the New Year a week early.

“Where are you?” Ms. Liu asked Wu Mangmang.

“At the Lu family,” Wu Mangmang said listlessly. Spending New Year at the Lu family as a girlfriend didn’t make Wu Mangmang that happy.

The Lu family’s traditions made the Wu family’s lack of traditions even more apparent.

“Can’t you spend a few New Years in China?” Wu Mangmang complained somewhat dissatisfiedly.

Before New Year, she’d suggested flying to Australia together, but Ms. Liu directly refused, acting like a married daughter was spilled water.

Of course Wu Mangmang knew Ms. Liu was thinking of her – diamond bachelors had to be watched closely.

But being in someone else’s family affection still left her unsatisfied – such is humanity, always wanting more.

After the call, Wu Mangmang received an electronic red envelope from Ms. Liu and generously sent a big wave of red envelopes to her gaming group, cementing her reputation as a rich beauty.

Actually, she just liked seeing them happy after grabbing red envelopes.

Midway, Lu Sui came up once to supervise Wu Mangmang taking medicine and apply ointment – the plastic surgeon’s secret formula for removing scars.

In the evening, Wu Mangmang went downstairs for New Year’s Eve dinner. She didn’t expect the Lu family’s New Year entertainment would also be the old-fashioned mahjong.

Wu Mangmang sighed. She still remembered last year during New Year, she went out with Lu Qingqing and the others to party and ring in the new year, counting down together, then kissing strangers in the bell’s chiming.

How did it feel like something from the last century?

Mentioning mahjong, Lu Lin casually brought up Wu Mangmang’s old “Nine Characters Goddess” story.

Lu Sui happened to be playing mahjong with his aunts and had been losing all night.

“Why don’t we have Mangmang draw a tile for you,” Lu Jiazhang laughed.

Since great aunt had spoken, Wu Mangmang couldn’t refuse and reluctantly drew a tile.

She drew a “one bamboo.”

Wu Mangmang looked at Lu Sui’s tiles – he was already waiting to win and didn’t need one bamboo at all, so she casually discarded it.

Result: all three other players could win with “one bamboo” and fell down in unison.

Everyone laughed.

Lu Sui also laughed, “Ancestor, you should go to sleep.”

Wu Mangmang’s lucky goddess bubble was finally burst tonight.

When Lu Sui came to bed that night, Wu Mangmang wasn’t asleep yet – mainly because she’d been resting all day and had slept enough.

Because they were at Lu Garden, Lu Sui gave Wu Mangmang special face by not sleeping in separate rooms, which made her quite flattered.

Wu Mangmang moved toward Lu Sui. He didn’t push her away but reached out to hold her, letting her lie more comfortably on his shoulder.

Did this mean he wasn’t angry anymore?

Wu Mangmang was almost desperate with Lu Sui – this man even had such brief sulks. How was she supposed to have a proper romance?

Wu Mangmang was so frustrated she nearly got internal injuries. Actually, she really hoped Lu Sui would question her.

“Did you see that woman next to Ning Zheng last night? I heard people who can be friends all have common interests,” Wu Mangmang’s hand unconsciously slipped into Lu Sui’s pajamas, naturally lingering on his “red cornelian cherry.”

It wasn’t that she particularly liked this “point” – mainly when encountering protrusions on smooth skin, it made obsessive-compulsive people want to pick at them.

Unfortunately, Lu Sui didn’t like being picked at, so Wu Mangmang’s hand was caught and removed.

“You think he took a fancy to that woman’s glowing spot?” Wu Mangmang was a bit curious while also disparaging Lu Sui’s friend’s standards.

“Possibly she’s good at it…” tight. The latter part wasn’t something Lu Sui would say, but men usually thought this way.

If Ning Zheng could hear Lu Sui’s answer, he’d definitely give a thumbs up – worthy of being a brother.

Most women usually couldn’t understand this point about men. They kept asking what she had that was better than themselves, why he would actually like that kind of woman.

When men were willing to discuss sexual topics with women, they usually had ideas.

Wu Mangmang sighed inwardly – what a good day it was, they could do it from this year to next year, but unfortunately her back was injured and she couldn’t celebrate wildly.

If they could do it, next time that “Zhenwo Fengcai” came looking for trouble, she could answer that Lu Sui’s endurance could last from one year to two years.

“Yesterday you saw me save Ning Zheng, didn’t you?” After struggling for ages, Wu Mangmang decided to get straight to the point. Regardless of whether Lu Sui wanted to hear it, she really wanted to explain.

Wu Mangmang felt Lu Sui’s muscles stiffen, then heard him hum in acknowledgment.

She knew men couldn’t possibly not mind.

Wu Mangmang excitedly started explaining, “When I saved Ning Zheng, it was completely from chivalrous spirit.”

Wu Mangmang paused, “I must admit, mainly that super short skirt was so ugly I felt some sympathy for Ning Zheng. It’s not easy for a man to be forced to this point. But after hearing your explanation just now, I know I was narrow-minded.”

Lu Sui couldn’t help laughing at Wu Mangmang’s words.

Wu Mangmang hadn’t lied.

Seeing Ning Zheng with that kind of woman would indeed inspire sympathy.

Hearing Lu Sui laugh, Wu Mangmang’s courage grew. She couldn’t help asking curiously, “Tell me, one great beauty like me but bad at it, another that super short skirt but especially good at it – who would you choose?”

“The beautiful one for wife, the skilled one for mistress,” Lu Sui said bluntly.

Sure enough, men in the dark were all beasts.

Wu Mangmang said “oh,” “I thought you’d be different.”

She couldn’t imagine Lu Sui with that super short skirt painted like a ghost.

Thinking of that image, Wu Mangmang couldn’t help laughing wildly until her wound hurt.

“Would you really sleep with that super short skirt?” Wu Mangmang continued pursuing.

Lu Sui rubbed his forehead, “Alright, I admit Ning Zheng is quite pitiable.”

Wu Mangmang pressed against Lu Sui and said softly, “Don’t be angry with me. The reason I sacrificed myself for others and took a knife for Ning Zheng yesterday – first because he’s your best friend, second because he was already injured enough. If that knife had come down, I estimated his stomach would be split open, so I pushed him down. I absolutely have no thoughts about him whatsoever.”

Having read too many romance novels, the important experience Wu Mangmang summarized was: you must explain things, and explain them promptly.

Even if the other party covered their ears saying “I won’t listen, I won’t listen,” you still had to explain.

Indeed, reading was beneficial.

The next second, Wu Mangmang felt Lu Sui catch her hand that was sliding down toward his lower abdomen and gently kiss the back of her hand.

“You were still angry with me yesterday – how come you’re not angry today?” Wu Mangmang couldn’t hold back when she had something to say.

Lu Sui pinched Wu Mangmang’s cheek, “At least you have self-awareness.”

Any man would definitely mind and be angry. Lu Sui wasn’t a saint – of course he’d mind.

It’s just that people are different. For Lu Sui, he clearly knew Wu Mangmang had nothing with Ning Zheng. Being jealous over nothing was a very low mistake for Lu Sui.

Moreover, it would push Wu Mangmang away, which wasn’t beneficial for either of them.

So Lu Sui could convince himself not to care and try to tolerate Wu Mangmang’s impulsive recklessness.

“If it were you instead, I’d definitely fight even harder. Don’t worry,” Wu Mangmang’s sweet talk flowed so smoothly.

“Thanks. I have bodyguards when I go out. Starting tomorrow, you’ll also need to bring bodyguards when you go out.” This was Lu Sui’s affectionate reward to Wu Mangmang.

Wu Mangmang sighed deeply but didn’t dare fight Lu Sui for freedom. If she were kidnapped in the future to extort Lu Sui, looking back at today’s willfulness, wouldn’t she have to hang herself?

So bodyguards it was – at least they could be eye candy.

“Then find me one with high looks,” Wu Mangmang made her request.

Lu Sui’s response was to bite Wu Mangmang’s finger.

“This isn’t a french fry,” Wu Mangmang lightly kicked Lu Sui.

The night was too long, so there was particularly much talk.

When Wu Mangmang’s sliding hand was caught by Lu Sui again and moved away from an inch below his navel, she really couldn’t hold back, “Is it true that you practice health preservation?”

“Who told you that?” Lu Sui asked back.

“Just heard it,” Wu Mangmang didn’t reveal Zhenwo Fengcai – mainly because her conversation with Zhenwo Fengcai was too embarrassing to mention.

“You just need to tell me if it’s true,” Wu Mangmang reached out to fiddle with Lu Sui’s buttons again. Since Lu Sui’s body protrusions weren’t allowed to be touched, she could only struggle with the buttons.

“Everyone practices health preservation. Don’t you also adhere to the health principle of not eating after eight PM?” Lu Sui said.

Wu Mangmang understood – this meant he did practice health preservation.

“So you’ve been holding back and not releasing because Taoism advocates the health principle of ‘winter doesn’t store essence, spring will bring plague’?” Wu Mangmang asked.

Since this question was already out, the next didn’t need to be hidden, “Or do you have psychological barriers you haven’t overcome?”
