[Urban] Intoxicating Fragrance (Complete) - 5

Chapter 45 Teasing the Witch
Xia Siyu and Zeng Xilan glared at her fiercely, angrily scolding, "Ruan Xiaoshan!"
Of course, they weren't really angry, but rather trying to hide their embarrassment and shyness.
Xie Junyu's laughter didn't wane from the banter and playfulness of the group of children. Being with them made her feel young again, not just mentally, but physically as if she had returned to her youthful days. There was no generation gap whatsoever; everything was so ordinary and natural.
Zhou Meiran and Yang Yuyan looked similar to them, but no matter what, they were mature women in their thirties. In terms of both mind and appearance, they lacked the innocent charm of the children, but possessed a more alluring, mature, and composed air. However, they also had the mind of young people, and were even more interested in some over-the-top, risqué jokes.
Hu Jun and Wen Shengming knew it was just a joke, but they envied Li Haoxuan because only he could enjoy this kind of 'lucky charm,' feeling both jealous and disappointed.
Ruan Xiaoshan didn't back down despite Xia Siyu and Zeng Xilan's shouts; instead, she intensified her attacks, but now only targeted Li Haoxuan. Perhaps she was afraid of being overwhelmed by a swarm of attackers! Feigning ignorance and fear, she asked, "Haoxuan, the way you're looking at me, you don't mean you want me too, do you?"
She paused slightly, then muttered to herself, "How could that be? I'm still your master! Don't you think two beautiful women aren't enough? Could it be that my Haoxuan has become too greedy, wanting three beauties in one bed..."
Li Haoxuan almost wanted to buy a block of tofu and smash his head against it; this was too vicious! If word got out, I'd be in deep trouble! This is intolerable! Since you like making a scene so much, I'll play along this time. A clever idea struck him. He gazed at the beautiful Ruan Xiaoshan with tender eyes, speaking softly, "Actually, the person I like most is you, Sister Shan. Haven't you noticed? I let you bully me all the time just so I can spend more time with you. Your capriciousness, your cuteness, your liveliness, every little thing you do—it all deeply attracts me."
Then, his voice cracked with emotion, "How could you hurt me like this? By linking me to Sister Lan and Sister Si? Do you know how heartbroken I am? Maybe you don't like me now, but I love you, and I'll wait for that moment to come."
He then added lightly, "I'm finished eating. You guys continue eating."
He quickly cleared away the dishes and hurried away.
Xia Siyu and Zeng Xilan, who were trying to stop Ruan Xiaoshan from rambling on, were stunned by Li Haoxuan's deeply affectionate confession of love. It was spoken so silently, tenderly, and movingly, his expression so sincere and unrestrained, his emotions so honest and steadfast. If it weren't for the previous events, anyone would have thought it was a touching love confession.
Xia Siyu and Zeng Xilan were startled awake by the last words; it turned out that the so-called genuine expression of love was nothing more than a prank, a way of returning the favor in kind. The two women, disregarding their image, stood beside Ruan Xiaoshan and burst into laughter.
Xie Junyu and the others hadn't expected Li Haoxuan's counterattack to be so sharp, effectively turning the tables on Ruan Xiaoshan. Initially, they believed him, thinking Li Haoxuan genuinely liked Ruan Xiaoshan and that's why he was forcing her to reveal her true feelings. However, after Li Haoxuan's irresponsible escape, they realized something was amiss. Seeing him secretly chuckle as he slipped away, they understood everything. While they didn't laugh as loudly as Xia Siyu, which would damage their ladylike image, they still laughed heartily at his antics.
Even Yan Feiying, who had been observing, couldn't hide her radiant smile, as bright and beautiful as a sunflower in bloom, elegant like a cat gracefully circling around. She exuded intellect, tolerance, gentleness, fashion, refinement, independence, wisdom, and virtue. Her slightly upturned lips were irresistibly sexy—a beauty that could topple cities with a single smile, and kingdoms with a second.
The two men, unlike the women, were not laughing with ease. The consequences of angering Ruan Xiaoshan were far beyond their capabilities. They were trembling with fear, afraid Ruan Xiaoshan would vent her anger on them. They wanted to leave but dared not, sitting there anxiously, swallowing their food without appetite. In their hearts, they cursed Li Haoxuan, this ungrateful wretch who disregarded kinship and friendship, condemning him as worthless, worse than a pig or a dog… At that moment, they forgot how they had treated Li Haoxuan just moments before.
As for Ruan Xiaoshan, the sudden, tender confession made her heart tremble. Li Haoxuan's affection struck her heart like a tidal wave crashing against the shore. She realized that love was so simple and natural, and being loved was so natural. Her heart, unmoved for twenty-four years, began to pound wildly in that instant, burning intensely like a dormant volcano erupting, like a seed sprouting and growing after a gentle spring rain.
Heartbreaking words, like needles, pierced her beating heart. For some unknown reason, she felt a deep ache, as if she were the sole culprit behind this tragedy. Li Haoxuan's departure gave her a feeling of being abandoned by the world, a sense of disorientation and bewilderment. It was as if a vibrant rose had prematurely withered due to lack of sunlight and nourishment. She felt incredibly vulnerable and helpless; happiness seemed to have slipped away unnoticed.
The laughter startled Ruan Xiaoshan from her reverie. Seeing everyone's expressions, she realized she had been deceived by Li Haoxuan's sweet words, genuine affection, tender gestures, and seemingly boundless love. Enraged, she stood up without regard for the occasion or her image, yelling at the retreating figure disappearing through the door, "Li Haoxuan, you bastard, you're dead!"
Now regretting his actions, Li Haoxuan realized his joke had gone too far. Ruan Xiaoshan's roar had startled him. The thought of her impending demonic revenge filled him with fear—a fear far greater than encountering Satan himself. He cursed himself for his loose tongue, while simultaneously trying to reassure himself that it was just a joke and that Ruan Xiaoshan wouldn't hold a grudge.
Ruan Xiaoshan's exasperated state only fueled Xia Siyu's anger, who had just been deeply hurt. Xia Siyu exclaimed, "Shanshan, you didn't actually believe that, did you?! This isn't like the person I know!"
Ruan Xiaoshan retorted excitedly, "Do you think I'm stupid? That I'd believe such idiotic talk?"
She was desperately trying to hide her true feelings, preventing them from discovering that she had actually thought that way.
Seizing the opportunity to kick someone when they're down, Zeng Xilan, who felt it would be a huge disservice not to, fanned the flames, saying, "No, then why are you so agitated? Did we guess right?"
She then muttered to herself, "Could it be that she's acting so unhappy because it's not real? Actually, she's already fallen for Haoxuan, so she's deliberately causing him trouble every day to get closer to him."
Ruan Xiaoshan was now speechless with bitterness and had nowhere to vent her anger. She hated Li Haoxuan to the core and vowed never to let him go.
Yan Feiying watched as her friends Zeng Xilan and Xia Siyu, like close friends constantly provoking the on the verge of a meltdown, thought about how the ultimate victim would be Li Haoxuan, who would suffer a terrible death. She didn't have a deep relationship with him, but through gradual interaction, she had grown somewhat fond of the kind-hearted Li Haoxuan, though that fondness remained purely platonic. Out of concern for her friends and not wanting them to go too far and damage their friendship, she gently advised, "Lanlan, Sisi, stop provoking Shanshan. Can't you see she's already angry? Don't you think about the consequences for Haoxuan?"
The two girls seemed to have a change of heart. Xia Siyu exclaimed in surprise, "Oh right, how could we forget Haoxuan? I wonder how much he likes our Shanshan."
Yan Feiying lowered her head speechlessly, sighing inwardly. These two really seemed to want to stir up trouble; they had to thoroughly anger Ruan Xiaoshan before they'd let her go. It was understandable, though; Shanshan usually teased them, and now that she had such a good opportunity, it was impossible for her not to seize it.
Ruan Xiaoshan truly experienced the 'pain' of being tricked this time. Currently at a disadvantage, with two 'sworn enemies' around, even with her excellent eloquence, she couldn't turn the tables and reverse her predicament. Helpless, she resorted to escapism to solve the problem. Zeng Xilan and Xia Siyu were determined and relentlessly pursued her. Yan Feiying also greeted everyone and quickly followed.
Watching the four children leave, Hu Jun and Wen Shengming couldn't sit still any longer. They quickly finished their meal and left. Rather than feeling uncomfortable, they were more likely going to settle scores with Li Haoxuan.
The remaining three beautiful women of similar age exchanged knowing smiles. The smiles of the three beautiful women were like three roses of different colors. Yang Yuyan was like a blooming red rose—passionate, unrestrained, delicate, and elegant. Xie Junyu was like a blooming black rose, standing out among the crowd, refreshing and captivating with her smile, yet also possessing the emptiness and loneliness of a black rose. Zhou Meiran was like a white rose—pure, noble, and refined, fragrant and beautiful, aloof yet alluring, with the elegance of a lily. These
three elegant women were like plum blossoms, orchids, and chrysanthemums, each with their own brilliance, their own unique fragrance, and their own distinct flavor. Influenced by what had just happened, the three of them were now the focus of attention. Fortunately, lunch was almost over, and the number of people wasn't too large, otherwise, they would have received even more attention. They, however, were unfazed. What hadn't they seen? This was nothing to them.
Xie Junyu elegantly pulled a tissue from a pack, passed it to Yang Yuyan beside her, and gestured for it to be given to Zhou Meiran. Zhou Meiran waved her hand, indicating she had one, and deftly wiped her alluring red lips with the clean white tissue, appearing so elegant, poised, and graceful.
Yang Yuyan, still somewhat shaken by what she perceived as a less-than-pleasant parting, asked, "Won't they have a falling out?"
This was understandable; as a top performer in the sales department, she usually spent most of her time traveling and rarely stayed at the office. Although she had heard about their situation, it seemed the joke had gone a bit too far, hence her concern.
Zhou Meiran chuckled softly, "Don't worry, Sister Yan, they'll only get along better; they won't cause any real conflict. Joking around is something they do all the time. The only difference today is that Shanshan is the main character, and Haoxuan tricked her. Of course, the sisters don't want to miss this opportunity to make fun of her, so you see them seemingly arguing fiercely, neither letting the other off the hook, but it's just a joke. It won't cause any rift in their relationship."
Xie Junyu nodded, saying with slight worry, "I'm more worried about Haoxuan. Getting involved with Shanshan isn't a good thing; her 'Little Witch' title isn't for nothing."
Zhou Meiran chuckled and said, "I reckon Haoxuan is regretting it terribly right now, and is trying to figure out how to avoid her. " "Shanshan's revenge."
Yang Yuyan chuckled, recalling Li Haoxuan's heartfelt confession, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Haoxuan to dare to mess with us like this, snatching Shanshan's teeth from the tiger's mouth."
Zhou Meiran said happily, "That's right, that bad guy really made a lot of money, taking advantage of all the beauties in our company."
Xie Junyu sighed, "Youth is different, so energetic, always laughing."
Yang Yuyan smiled and said, "Sister Yu, I don't think you're that much older than us!"
Zhou Meiran chimed in, "That's right, Sister Yu, tell me how you maintain your youth."
For the rest of the time, they talked about women's health, sharing their experiences in self-cultivation, maintaining youth, and beauty and health care.

Chapter 46: Daughter Returns
He spent the afternoon unharmed. This wasn't because Ruan Xiaoshan had taken pity on him, but because he had cleverly evaded her vengeful schemes; more accurately, work hours limited his actions.
After finishing his cleaning duties, Li Haoxuan locked the glass door, took the elevator from the 27th floor to the lobby, and cautiously checked the area outside the door. Only after confirming he hadn't spotted Ruan Xiaoshan did he feel relieved enough to leave. Better safe than sorry. Who could fathom the little devil's mind? He had offended her, and perhaps her eagerness for revenge would lead her to do something unwise.
Walking down the street, Li Haoxuan gazed at the bustling pedestrians and traffic, his thoughts drifting home. Sister Qing should be home by now, and Xiuxiu had returned from summer camp. He wondered how the mother and daughter were doing. Li Haoxuan, who should have taken the bus home earlier, chose to walk. It wasn't that he was afraid to face Xiuxiu, but that he didn't know how to face her; the usual approach was impossible. A white lie can make our lives, and the lives of those we love and those who love us, better. But this lie won't turn into understanding, respect, and tolerance; it will only bring her more hurt, betrayal, and pain. Now, knowing it's wrong, he'll continue down the wrong path—perhaps this is the selfishness of human nature.
In a daze, he unknowingly returned home. Calmly and as naturally as possible, he took out his key and opened the door. While still changing his shoes at the entrance, Li Haoxuan soon heard Su Xiuwan's joyful cheers from the kitchen, "It must be Brother Xuan coming back!"
Then he saw her, wearing a pink chiffon skirt and a white t-shirt, skipping and jumping towards him.
The skirt revealed Su Xiuwan's beautiful legs—sexy, long, and delicate, with snow-white thighs, bright toes, and soles as pink as a baby's. Ten jade-like toes were evenly arranged at the toes of her socks, rounded and lovely, exquisite and translucent. The lines of her entire foot seemed to flow like water, highlighting every poetic curve from toe to ankle.
Li Haoxuan, who was bending over to change his shoes, unconsciously focused his gaze on Su Xiuwan's smooth, delicate feet. A joyful cry startled him from his reverie, "Brother Xuan, why are you so late today? Did you forget that I was coming back today?"
Li Haoxuan smiled to cover up his embarrassment and said, "Of course not, it's just that some people at the company left late today, so I was busy a little late."
Su Xiuwan glanced at the kitchen and said teasingly, "I thought Brother Xuan didn't want me to come back early and disturb your time together."
Knowing that Su Xiuwan was just joking, Li Haoxuan heard it differently. Feeling guilty, his expression immediately became unnatural. Chen Yuqing, who happened to be carrying a bowl and chopsticks out, also overheard. Compared to Li Haoxuan, who was still relatively innocent, she was much more experienced
. She smiled without revealing her true feelings and said, "Xiuxiu, you silly girl, what are you gossiping about?" But the observant Li Haoxuan could still see from Chen Yuqing's evasive eyes that she felt the same unease and guilt as him.
Su Xiuwan had never considered what might have happened between her mother and Brother Xuan while she was away from home for a week. "Mom, am I wrong? When I'm not here, you two live together, isn't that your own private world?"
Then she glanced at Chen Yuqing and said coquettishly, "You two aren't thinking anything inappropriate, are you?"
"You silly girl, you're the one who's thinking nonsense. I'm not talking to you anymore, Haoxuan, come in and wash your hands and eat!"
After saying that, she couldn't wait to slip into the kitchen.
As soon as Li Haoxuan put on his slippers, Su Xiuwan naturally took his arm and pulled him inside. Although there wasn't much physical contact, Li Haoxuan felt uncomfortable all over. His arm stiffened, and he resisted, wanting to pull away. Su Xiuwan quickly noticed this and looked at Li Haoxuan with puzzlement.
Li Haoxuan reacted quickly, pretending to pat his sleeves and chuckled, "Brother Xuan has been busy all day, you're a bit dirty."
Su Xiuwan then cleared up her doubts and chuckled dismissively, "It's okay, I'll take another shower tonight anyway."
This dinner was the most unsettling meal Li Haoxuan had ever had. He had to reciprocate Su Xiuwan's enthusiastic chatter about summer camp while simultaneously trying to avoid appearing too affectionate, and most importantly, maintaining a balance in the mother-daughter relationship. His mouth was busy eating, but his mind was still racing, and thankfully, he didn't give anything away.
In contrast, Chen Yuqing fared much better, behaving perfectly normally, subtly concealing nothing, as if nothing had happened between them. This was a result of Chen Yuqing's rich life experience; she encountered all sorts of people and situations daily, taking everything and everyone for granted, and accepting any unusual occurrences as normal. Naturally, this made her far more capable than Li Haoxuan, a newcomer to society.
With their cooperation, Su Xiuwan didn't notice anything amiss, but her keen senses alerted her to Li Haoxuan's unusual behavior, though she didn't dwell on it. She was completely absorbed in the joy of returning home and recounting the fun and interesting things she had seen and heard at summer camp.
After dinner, while Su Xiuwan was taking a shower, Li Haoxuan secretly slipped into Chen Yuqing's room. Once inside, Li Haoxuan found Chen Yuqing sitting in a swivel chair, intently staring at the LCD computer screen. The screen was still displaying the desktop, and her right hand wasn't moving the mouse. It was easy to guess that she was daydreaming.
Li Haoxuan quietly approached her from behind, subtly stroking Chen Yuqing's soft, smooth shoulders. He leaned close to her fair, delicate face and softly said, "Good sister, what are you thinking about so intently?"
Chen Yuqing was startled by Li Haoxuan's sudden action. Her first reaction was to turn her head towards the door, and only after finding it closed did she feel relieved and ask, "Where's Xiuxiu? How did you sneak in?"
Li Haoxuan kissed Chen Yuqing's smooth cheek and said softly, "Xiuxiu took a bath. Also, let me clarify, this isn't sneaking around; it's coming into my wife's room openly and honestly."
Hearing Li Haoxuan's respectful address, Chen Yuqing's face flushed with shyness and joy, but it quickly turned somber. She said pitifully, "Isn't this sneaking around?"
Li Haoxuan knew what Chen Yuqing meant, and this was what troubled him, but what could he do? This decision was made by both of them, or rather, this was the price they had to pay. All Li Haoxuan could do now was support Chen Yuqing. "Sister, don't worry! Things will work out in the end. We'll be together openly one day."
Hearing Li Haoxuan's comforting words, Chen Yuqing felt much better. She also knew that Li Haoxuan was experiencing the same anguish as her, as his behavior tonight had clearly demonstrated. She raised her snow-white arm from outside her sleeve, gently patting the broad back of her left shoulder, while tilting her head back, gazing at Li Haoxuan with tender affection.
Li Haoxuan grasped Chen Yuqing's delicate hand tightly, lowered his head, and passionately kissed her hair, her white forehead, her delicate nose and cheeks, finally kissing her long-awaited, sexy, and alluring red lips. He kissed Chen Yuqing's cherry-like mouth passionately, his tongue exploring and entwining with her tender, smooth tongue, sucking her sweet saliva.
Chen Yuqing gently and submissively offered her red lips, without the slightest hint of reserve or resistance, as if she had returned to the time of her first love, her heart pounding like a deer. Her delicate face was flushed like a drunken blush, alluring with spring-like beauty, her delicate eyebrows concealing spring, her eyes half-open, her breath heavy as she greedily sucked on Li Haoxuan's thick, sweet tongue. His lips met Chen Yuqing's soft, rosy lips, rubbing back and forth, his tongue gently licking them
, their lips and tongues intertwining once more. They licked and sucked each other's tongues with tender affection, savoring the saliva on each other's tongues and in their mouths. Chen Yuqing's breathing became rapid, her tongue ached, her face flushed, her small nostrils flaring rapidly, yet she did not struggle or resist at all, simply cooperating with Li Haoxuan, letting him hold her tightly, letting him suckle.
Li Haoxuan's hands weren't idle either. He gently caressed her lower abdomen from behind, stroking her abdomen and lumbar spine, a warm sensation soothing her body. Slowly, through her outer clothes and bra, Li Haoxuan's hands moved to Chen Yuqing's breasts, their texture as smooth and soft as silk. He firmly grasped her two firm, erect breasts, caressing and kneading them. Gradually, Li Haoxuan became dissatisfied with the status quo. He freed one hand and slipped it inside her round-neck t-shirt, passionately reaching into her pink bra, caressing and kneading her breasts—full, snow-white, and incredibly elastic, the trembling, proudly erect 'Holy Maiden Peaks'.
Chen Yuqing's delicate body trembled slightly as she tried to suppress her soft moans. Her breasts, lifted proudly by Li Haoxuan's caresses, stood erect, their small, exquisite, beautiful, and radiant rosy tips glowing brightly. Combined with the surrounding alluring pink areolas, they resembled two tender buds, shyly just beginning to bloom.
Chen Yuqing could clearly feel her breasts rapidly swelling under the slightly clumsy caresses of Li Haoxuan's hot hands. Her nipples began to swell with blood, and her body became weak and limp, involuntarily twisting her body, whether expressing her dissatisfaction or protesting Li Haoxuan's decision to stop. Meanwhile, his other hand slowly groped for her waist, trying to unbutton her trousers. Under Li Haoxuan's teasing, the blushing, heart-pounding, and unbearably shy physiological reactions were aroused more and more intensely.
A sudden knock on the door interrupted the two lovers, who were engrossed in their passion. The soft knock sounded like a bombshell, jolting the couple awake. Li Haoxuan quickly moved away from Chen Yuqing's alluring body, grabbed a tissue from the computer desk, and wiped the red lip gloss off his lips. Chen Yuqing immediately tidied her disheveled clothes and started using the mouse to access the Guifeng Forex and Gold Analysis System. She had Li Haoxuan sit down next to her to watch the analysis together. After everything was done flawlessly, she called out to the door, "Come in! The door's unlocked."
Su Xiuwan opened the door and pouted, complaining, "Mom, why did it take you so long to let me in? I almost couldn't wait and just opened the door."
The two were startled. Luckily, they had acted quickly, or the consequences would have been unimaginable. Chen Yuqing looked at Su Xiuwan in surprise and said, "We were probably too focused, so we didn't hear your knock."
Li Haoxuan chimed in, "Yes! Sister Qing and I were studying the pound's trend, so we didn't notice." Su Xiuwan didn't suspect anything .
While they were talking, she jumped onto the bed and smiled sweetly, saying, "I knew Brother Xuan would be studying at Mom's right now. Next time, I won't bother you by knocking."
Li Haoxuan and Chen Yuqing blushed slightly upon hearing Su Xiuwan's words, feeling like they'd been caught in the act. Hearing her say she wouldn't knock next time, Li Haoxuan could only feel secretly annoyed. Chen Yuqing, avoiding her daughter's gaze, glared at him and then softly asked, "Xiuxiu, what's wrong?"
Su Xiuwan lay on her side... On the bed, with one hand supporting her head, she replied, "Oh, it's like this, I want to sleep with you, Mom, tonight."
Chen Yuqing didn't hesitate at all, smiling as she said, "Okay! It's been a long time since we've slept together."
Li Haoxuan looked at the beautiful Su Xiuwan lying on his and Chen Yuqing's love bed, and his mind couldn't help but fantasize. Su Xiuwan's figure was no less than Chen Yuqing's; although not as fiery, she had a pure, lovely, and innocent feel, and her touch must be wonderful.
If she could also be naked like Sister Qing, revealing her pure and innocent body, how wonderful that would be! Evil thoughts were rising, imagining the mother and daughter enjoying each other's company beneath him—what a beautiful scene that would be! A ripe peach, a green apple. Just thinking about it was unbearable; if that day really came, wouldn't he be blissfully lost?
The presence of a mature woman he could only look at but not touch was already enough to drive Li Haoxuan crazy. Now, with the addition of a lively, adorable, and youthful girl, his lust was even more unbearable. Unable to resist, Li Haoxuan could only choose to escape, to reduce the craving caused by his lustful gaze. "Sister Qing, Xiuxiu, you two chat first, I'm going to take a shower."
After saying that, he ignored Su Xiuwan's attempts to persuade him to stay and fled out the door.
After Li Haoxuan left, Su Xiuwan couldn't help but complain, "Brother Xuan, really, couldn't you have chatted a little longer? You could have taken a shower anytime!"
Although Chen Yuqing didn't know why Li Haoxuan was in such a hurry to leave, she still defended her beloved, saying, "Maybe he was afraid it would be inconvenient for him to leave before us, mother and daughter! So he deliberately left so we could talk!"
Su Xiuwan pouted, displeased, and said, "What's inconvenient about it? Brother Xuan isn't an outsider."
Chen Yuqing found her daughter's words about not being an outsider very pleasing to the ear, and was particularly happy to hear them, as if Li Haoxuan's position had been confirmed. She smiled broadly and said, "Alright, don't be angry. At most, the three of us can talk together next time."
That was what she thought, but Chen Yuqing knew that it wasn't the right time to tell Su Xiuwan about their relationship, so she never intended to explain their heart-to-heart talk to her daughter that evening.

Chapter 47 Massaging Jade Feet
Li Haoxuan slept very restlessly that night, as if something was missing. Looking towards Chen Yuqing's door, he realized what he lacked was the happiness of sleeping with Chen Yuqing's beautiful body in his arms. In just one night, he realized he couldn't live without Chen Yuqing. Before, he could sleep on a hard bed, but his love for Chen Yuqing grew stronger every day.
Thinking of Su Xiuwan occupying his precious time, Li Haoxuan shook his head helplessly and went into the bathroom to wash up. Eating toast with a fried egg, ham, and milk, Li Haoxuan thought about his future. Being a cleaner couldn't last long. He needed to keep learning, find his own stage, achieve something, and make himself more worthy of Sister Qing, making her proud of him. In his spare time, he used existing resources to continuously increase his financial knowledge, but it was all one-sided, purely bookish knowledge; his practical skills were extremely limited. Although the company had a large number of renowned instructors, they were all busy with their own work and had little time to guide him. Even if they did, it was only during their breaks to explain the questions he raised. Therefore, no matter how intelligent he was, he couldn't learn much. Fortunately, he had the guidance of Chen Yuqing, who was considered a semi-renowned instructor, which greatly benefited Li Haoxuan, although he still lacked professional guidance. Not impatient for quick results, Li Haoxuan felt that he was already doing well. He believed that learning step by step would allow him to learn more and more thoroughly.
Before going to work, Chen Yuqing hadn't even stepped out of her room, and Li Haoxuan didn't disturb her, thinking that the mother and daughter must have finished their conversation, and it wouldn't be a big deal to let Sister Qing sleep a little longer.
Li Haoxuan strode to work and arrived at the company in less than ten minutes, quickly starting his day's work. Already skilled, he efficiently completed his morning tasks in half the time he had initially planned.
Having just finished cleaning the women's restroom and taken down the "Cleaning in Progress" sign hanging outside, he noticed a woman in company attire walk through the door. Her familiar back view was unforgettable. He thought to himself, "Why is this witch here so early today? Is she planning to settle scores with me while no one's around?"
Standing at the restroom door, Li Haoxuan pondered what to do, only to see Ruan Xiaoshan walking towards him. With nowhere to hide, he had no choice but to re-enter the restroom, leaving a small gap to observe Ruan Xiaoshan.
Li Haoxuan was right; Ruan Xiaoshan did indeed want to get to the company early to avenge yesterday's incident. She had left home earlier than usual, hurriedly ate breakfast downstairs, and taken the bus to the company. Finding the door open, she quickly reviewed her plan from the previous night on how to deal with Li Haoxuan and stormed in. However, after searching around without finding him, she angrily threw her bag on her desk and sat down. Regaining her composure, she thought of the restroom. The office floor and desks had been cleaned, indicating he'd arrived long ago. Since he wasn't there, he must have gone to clean the restrooms.
Rushing straight to the men's restroom, she found it empty. Without a doubt, he was in the women's. Li Haoxuan noticed Ruan Xiaoshan approaching with a mysterious smile. Hiding behind the door, he was frantic, like a cat on a hot tin roof, unsure what to do. He was now in a dead end, with no way to escape. In desperation, he went into the restroom and closed the door, a last resort—at least there was a door to avoid any physical attack.
Ruan Xiaoshan, upon entering the restroom, immediately noticed the cleaning supplies beside the door. Taking a few steps closer, she quickly spotted the tightly closed door at the far end of the restroom. Without a second thought, Ruan Xiaoshan instantly realized the person inside was undoubtedly Li Haoxuan. No one else would have entered the women's restroom during this time, and the wet floor was clear proof it had just been cleaned. The person inside must have noticed her arrival, which is why they deliberately hid in the toilet. Otherwise, why would they be hiding there, secretly spying on something?
Ruan Xiaoshan pretended to be oblivious, standing in front of the sink, tidying her clothes and face. In her mind, however, she was thinking about how to deal with Li Haoxuan. Her original plan was no longer feasible. Without much effort, Ruan Xiaoshan came up with a good idea. She gave a devilish smirk, found a small bucket, turned on the tap, slowly filled it with water, and then quietly carried the half-full bucket to the toilet next to Li Haoxuan's. She lowered the toilet seat and quietly stood on it. Cautiously, she peeked into the toilet next to Li Haoxuan through the partition. She saw him intently observing everything outside, his face pressed against the plastic door, but his expression and movements clearly indicated that he wasn't getting anywhere.
Ruan Xiaoshan almost burst out laughing at the thought of Li Haoxuan about to be soaked to the bone. Slowly, she lifted the bucket, intending to surprise him with a full-on drenching splash, but instead, he stormed out. Li Haoxuan, having
not heard any movement for a while, had become suspicious. He knew Ruan Xiaoshan's personality; she wouldn't let him go knowing her 'enemy' was there. But there was no sound outside. The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. The only thing he was certain of was that Ruan Xiaoshan was up to something.
Trying to relax and focus, Li Haoxuan carefully sensed the situation outside. He quickly heard breathing coming from next door. He detected a hint of excitement and agitation in the breathing. Without time to ponder how he could hear it, Li Haoxuan looked up and saw Ruan Xiaoshan's beautiful face and the bucket in her hand. Knowing exactly what she was going to do next, Li Haoxuan opened the door without hesitation and rushed out.
Discovered, Ruan Xiaoshan, disregarding her high heels and standing on the toilet, jumped down with the bucket in hand, trying to catch up with Li Haoxuan. However, her right ankle twisted upon landing, and she reflexively dropped the bucket she was carrying. She then grabbed the doorframe with both hands to prevent herself from falling, letting out a painful cry.
Li Haoxuan, who was trying to escape, initially suspected a trap upon hearing Ruan Xiaoshan's scream, but the subsequent groans didn't sound fake. Turning around, he saw Ruan Xiaoshan holding onto the doorframe with one hand and trying to reach over to rub her right ankle with the other, but the opening of her short skirt was too narrow, preventing her from reaching it.
Li Haoxuan hurriedly walked over, squatted down in front of her, and grabbed her small foot with his left hand. Before he could even remove her white high-heeled sandals with his right, he noticed Ruan Xiaoshan twisting her right foot, trying to rub against his hands. Li Haoxuan didn't want to use her body to get back at her, so he firmly grasped her right foot and removed her white high-heeled sandals without allowing her to resist. Ruan Xiaoshan, in her anger, not only failed to get revenge but also injured herself. When Li Haoxuan came to help her, she angrily blamed him for her pain. Already struggling to stand on one leg, and with her right foot injured, any resistance only made her unsteady and more uncomfortable. Finally, she had no choice but to let Li Haoxuan do as he pleased.
Without giving it much thought, Li Haoxuan gently placed Ruan Xiaoshan's foot on his thigh, which was parallel to his body as he squatted down. Her right ankle appeared noticeably red and swollen. He pressed it lightly, and Ruan Xiaoshan gasped in pain. Li Haoxuan asked with concern, "How are
you? Does it hurt?" Ruan Xiaoshan replied irritably, "Of course it hurts! Isn't that obvious?"
Li Haoxuan didn't react to her harsh words. Seriously, he felt partly responsible for Ruan Xiaoshan's injury. Aside from a little fear, he felt a deep respect for her, because aside from often teasing him, she mostly treated him with the care of a younger brother, though perhaps in a different way.
Li Haoxuan examined her foot carefully, touched it a few times, and smiled, "It's alright, just a sprain. There's no obvious sign of a fracture. It's probably just soft tissue damage. I'll massage it for you a bit, then apply ice to reduce the swelling. It should be fine then."
Ruan Xiaoshan was already angry at Li Haoxuan's smile, and hearing him make it sound so easy only fueled her anger. "A few massages and it'll be fine? Does he think he's some kind of bone-setting master?" she thought. But she had no choice. She was under his roof; she had to submit. If he just left, she'd suffer even more.
Li Haoxuan didn't care whether she wanted to or not. He grabbed her foot and began to gently massage it, gradually increasing the pressure. Ruan Xiaoshan, however, refused to show weakness to Li Haoxuan. She endured the pain, clenching her teeth to keep quiet, but the trembling in her body betrayed her. Li Haoxuan lowered his head and chuckled secretly. Then, to distract Ruan Xiaoshan, he smiled and said, "Sister Shan, let me tell you a joke!"
Without waiting for Ruan Xiaoshan to listen, he began, "Two countries are at war, locked in a fierce battle with heavy losses on both sides. One country urgently conscripted soldiers. A farmer was unfortunately drafted. When the officer was distributing guns, it was the farmer's turn. The officer casually handed the farmer a broom and told him, 'When you're fighting, just hold this broom, aim at the enemy, and keep shouting: "Bang, bang, I'll kill you!" That's all. Your comrades will take care of the rest.'
The next day, the farmer went to the battlefield. He lay prone in the trench, constantly shouting, 'Bang, bang, I'll kill you!' " "
As it turned out, one of the enemies he was aiming at was hit by a stray bullet. As the battle continued, the farmer's comrades dwindled, almost all of them were killed. Then, the farmer noticed a burly enemy charging towards him. He aimed several times, but to no avail. The enemy kept charging, knocking the farmer to the ground. The farmer was terrified. Then he heard the enemy mutter: 'Boom, boom, the tank will crush you.'"
Ruan Xiaoshan knew she shouldn't laugh, but she couldn't help but chuckle, her sweet smile radiating beauty and making her incredibly attractive. Li Haoxuan stared in disbelief, while Ruan Xiaoshan turned her head away shyly.
Little did Ruan Xiaoshan know that what truly stunned Li Haoxuan wasn't her smile, but the breathtaking sight he glimpsed when he looked up from a step below her: the bare beauty of her right leg, her smooth, flawless ankle revealing delicate veins beneath her fair skin. Following her smooth right calf, he saw a slender, shapely leg with an alluring sheen. Further up, beneath her short skirt, her thigh was full, rounded, soft, and long, tinged with an alluring pink. Looking closer, he could clearly see she was wearing white, semi-transparent lace panties, revealing a patch of dark pubic hair in the center. The sight nearly made Li Haoxuan's nose bleed. Beneath the lace panties, her right thigh revealed the fair, tender skin at the base of her thigh, contrasting sharply with the bare, smooth, and jade-like skin of her left leg, making his heart pound and his gaze fixed intently on her.

Chapter 48: A Heart Full of Springtime Passion.
Ruan Xiaoshan was puzzled as to why Li Haoxuan, who was massaging her so comfortably, had stopped. Turning around and looking down, she found him staring intently at her. The problem was, he wasn't looking in the right direction. Ruan Xiaoshan quickly realized Li Haoxuan's inappropriate behavior and struggled to break free from his grip on her feet. This action startled Li Haoxuan from his reverie. Caught red-handed, he hurriedly lowered himself, not caring whether he was massaging the right spot, and began to caress Ruan Xiaoshan's calves.
Exposed, Ruan Xiaoshan was furious, glaring fiercely at Li Haoxuan. If looks could kill, he would have died thousands of times over. She knew this was just a facade; her true feelings were quite different. She felt a tingling pleasure in the areas Li Haoxuan had looked at, and his burning gaze seemed to be engulfing her beautiful body like flames. Even without looking, she knew her face was now as red as a tomato.
What was most infuriating was his pair of electric, demonic hands, relentlessly caressing the sensitive skin of her delicate feet. She could barely stand, a tingling, unbearable passion welling up within her. Her face flushed, her eyes sparkled with desire, her heart pounded, and her body trembled. This unprecedented sensation left her torn, wanting to stop him yet also wanting to savor it a little longer. Finally, her girlish reserve and shyness made her glare at Li Haoxuan.
As if waking from a dream, Li Haoxuan realized he had openly taken advantage of Ruan Xiaoshan. Thinking of the consequences, he was filled with remorse and fear. Afraid of Ruan Xiaoshan's retaliation, he anxiously glanced at her. What he saw was Ruan Xiaoshan's beautiful face, her flawless, delicate skin, her delicate nose and cheeks, her beautiful eyes slightly closed, her cherry-like lips parted, her breath coming in soft gasps—utterly alluring.
No longer the clueless virgin Li Haoxuan of before, Ruan Xiaoshan was clearly aroused. Compared to Qing Jie, she was almost emitting blood-pumping moans from her sexy little mouth. Unconsciously, the massage of her feet turned into caresses. Her delicate feet, with their white toes, slender soles, pink heels, high arches, and delicate ankles forming a beautiful curve, and red nail polish on her delicate toes, made her even more alluring, emitting an enticing fragrance. Li Haoxuan almost couldn't resist kissing and licking them.
Li Haoxuan was enjoying a blissful moment, while Ruan Xiaoshan was suffering. Unable to stop, she felt as if Li Haoxuan's hands possessed magic. She hadn't felt anything unusual before, but now she felt uneasy all over. It was as if a flame slowly spread from her feet to her whole body with Li Haoxuan's caresses, her body temperature rising and becoming hot.
The pure and lovely Ruan Xiaoshan's cheeks were flushed a delicate pink, her beautiful eyes tightly closed, her lips slightly parted, and her delicate brows furrowed, making it impossible to tell whether she was experiencing unbearable shame or reveling in the novel, alluring, and intoxicating stimulation. Her eyes were half-closed, her long, slightly upturned eyelashes trembled slightly, and her smooth, Venus-like nose was glistening with sweat. Her nostrils flared, and her beautifully curved lips parted slightly as she breathed softly. Her exquisitely beautiful face was even more fiery and vibrant, and her delicate, charming nose gradually began to utter soft moans and whimpers.
These gentle moans were like a fuse, igniting an unstoppable blaze, like a dormant volcano that, if left unchecked, could eventually explode into a nuclear bomb. The moans, like a battle cry, spurred Li Haoxuan's advance. Just as the two, unable to contain their passion, were about to take things further, a clear voice came from outside the door, startling them from their intimate moment. "What are you doing?!"
Li Haoxuan hurriedly stood up, explaining his actions, but he forgot Ruan Xiaoshan's current state. Already dazed, she became even more unsteady when Li Haoxuan suddenly pulled away, leaning forward and falling towards him. Li Haoxuan reacted swiftly, opening his arms to catch her. Holding her soft, fragrant body, Li Haoxuan didn't even have time to savor the beauty of her delicate form before quickly pushing her away, trying to prevent anyone from misunderstanding their relationship.
But Ruan Xiaoshan was already limp and powerless, about to collapse. What could Li Haoxuan do in this situation? He could only hold her again, one hand on her waist and the other letting her right hand rest on his shoulder. Ruan Xiaoshan was also willing but unable to do anything about it. She knew that doing so would damage her image, but she was helpless.
The two then noticed that the person who had disturbed them was their friend Zeng Xilan. For some reason, they both breathed a sigh of relief. Slowly calming down, Ruan Xiaoshan reverted to her witch-like nature, or perhaps it was just an act! "You little devil, Lanlan, you scared me to death!"
Zeng Xilan, who was going to work as usual, was about to ask Li Haoxuan if he had been 'educated' by Ruan Xiaoshan yesterday when she stumbled upon this scene in the women's restroom. She saw Li Haoxuan stroking a beautiful leg. Because Ruan Xiaoshan was still standing inside the door, she couldn't see who was inside.
Seeing this, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable, as if she had discovered her husband being intimate with another woman behind her back. Without thinking, she cried out. Later, she discovered that the owner of the beautiful leg was her good friend Ruan Xiaoshan, and the two of them embracing and behaving intimately was clearly suspicious.
Upon realizing it was Ruan Xiaoshan, Zeng Xilan's unease lessened considerably. She couldn't quite explain why, but she knew it was a simple thought in her heart. Looking at the two of them with a face full of confusion, she wondered if the truth was as it had yesterday—that there was some kind of affair between them.
Seeing Zeng Xilan's expression, Li Haoxuan and Ruan Xiaoshan immediately said in unison, "We're nothing, don't get the wrong idea."
Then they accused each other, "Don't mimic me!" Zeng Xilan saw their nervousness and their obvious attempt to cover something up, which only fueled her suspicions. She looked at them meaningfully, remaining silent.
Seeing that Zeng Xilan seemed genuinely confused, Li Haoxuan hurriedly explained, "Sister Shan twisted her ankle just now. I was just massaging it for her when you came in."
To further prove his point, Li Haoxuan quickly gestured for Ruan Xiaoshan to explain as well.
Without Li Haoxuan's prompting, Ruan Xiaoshan said, "You damn Lanlan, come help me!"
Zeng Xilan noticed that Ruan Xiaoshan's right foot was indeed slightly swollen and knew she wasn't faking it. Out of concern for her sister, she quickly stepped forward to help her on the other side.
To allow Ruan Xiaoshan's foot to rest, Li Haoxuan suggested, "Sister Lan, let's help Sister Shan to the office first."
Zeng Xilan saw Ruan Xiaoshan trembling as she stood and nodded in agreement, unaware that Ruan Xiaoshan's trembling was a sign that her passion hadn't subsided. So the two of them helped Ruan Xiaoshan walk towards the office, and before leaving, Li Haoxuan didn't forget to put her high heels on for her.
Back in her seat, Ruan Xiaoshan finally let out a sigh of relief. Standing there for so long, coupled with Li Haoxuan's indecent advances, had really made her left foot a little numb. She couldn't help but glare fiercely at Li Haoxuan standing beside her. Knowing he was guilty, Li Haoxuan didn't dare to resist much and could only submit, secretly chuckling to himself that he had gained something.
Zeng Xilan, standing to the side, had been filled with questions from the beginning. First, why were the two of them in the women's restroom? Second, how could Ruan Xiaoshan have sprained her ankle when her high heels weren't broken? Finally, Li Haoxuan's foot massage technique was less gentle and more like playful teasing. And what was the meaning behind Ruan Xiaoshan's glare at Li Haoxuan just now? Despite a host of questions, the sisters' injuries were more important. Concerned, Li Haoxuan asked, "Shanshan, is your foot alright? Should we go to the hospital?"
Before Ruan Xiaoshan could reply, Li Haoxuan interjected, "It should be fine. Just use ice to reduce the swelling, and apply some antiseptic at home. If you don't believe me, Shanshan, stand up and try."
Ruan Xiaoshan stretched her legs and twisted her ankle a few times in the chair. Finding nothing amiss, she stood up and carefully tried walking a few steps. She found it was indeed as Li Haoxuan had said, and couldn't help but praise, "Haoxuan, your technique is really good."
Then, remembering Li Haoxuan's earlier actions, she immediately gave him a cold look.
Feeling utterly bored, Li Haoxuan could only meekly agree, avoiding Ruan Xiaoshan's angry glare. Zeng Xilan, observing the two's behavior, was certain that something unknown had happened between them, and that Li Haoxuan had angered Ruan Xiaoshan.
After a moment's thought, Zeng Xilan feigned indifference and asked, "Shanshan, why are you here so early today?"
Unsuspecting, Ruan Xiaoshan immediately chimed in with a complaining tone, "It's all because of him."
She gave Li Haoxuan a sidelong glance.
To Zeng Xilan, Ruan Xiaoshan's alluring eye roll seemed like a flirtatious exchange, and her words sounded like a lovers' quarrel—overly thought-provoking. Ruan Xiaoshan probably realized her inappropriate tone and quickly explained, "I came so early to settle a score with him."
As if afraid Zeng Xilan wouldn't believe her, she added, "Otherwise, do you think I have nothing better to do than sleep in and come to the company so early?"
Zeng Xilan gave her a knowing look, as if to say, "I understand, you don't need to explain further." But Ruan Xiaoshan's "understanding" took on a different meaning. She helplessly pointed at Zeng Xilan, looking speechless and unable to offer a proper explanation.
Zeng Xilan watched with amusement, knowing full well that Ruan Xiaoshan was telling the truth, yet still giving her approval. After all, Ruan Xiaoshan had taken advantage of a bathroom break yesterday after lunch to grope Zeng Xilan's breasts. It wasn't the first time, but it was the first time at the company. Zeng Xilan was left breathless and aroused by Ruan Xiaoshan's actions. Considering the inappropriate time and place, she could only beg for forgiveness, humbly admitting her mistake to gain Ruan Xiaoshan's advances. Even so,
she was left disheveled, blushing, and filled with shame. Remembering Ruan Xiaoshan's despicable behavior, Zeng Xilan became angry and said in a cat-and-mouse game, "It's not impossible for me to believe you."
Ruan Xiaoshan, like a drowning person grasping at a straw, eagerly looked at Zeng Xilan, anticipating her next words. Zeng Xilan glanced at Li Haoxuan, who was focused on them, and smiled sweetly, saying, "Tell me how you managed to twist your ankle in the bathroom."
Ruan Xiaoshan thought Zeng Xilan was going to ask something difficult to answer, and was about to tell her the reason when she suddenly realized that she couldn't tell her such an embarrassing story. If she did, would she still have any image to maintain? Would she have any place in the world afterward? They would laugh at her to death. Yes, she absolutely couldn't tell her.

Chapter 49 Self-Defense
Zeng Xilan saw that Ruan Xiaoshan seemed lost in thought, her expression slightly tense, as if she had something unspeakable she didn't want others to know. From her demeanor, she could tell that Ruan Xiaoshan definitely wouldn't reveal it; after all, she wasn't the only one involved. She then turned to Li Haoxuan with a charming smile and said, "Haoxuan! Tell Sister Lan what happened just now."
Looking at Zeng Xilan's alluring smile, Li Haoxuan seemed bewitched and blurted out without thinking, "Just now, Sister Shan..."
Before Li Haoxuan could continue, Ruan... Xiaoshan snorted coldly, interrupting him. Confused, Li Haoxuan immediately felt Xiaoshan's restraining and warning look, telling him not to continue. To further dissuade Zeng Xilan, Xiaoshan devised a plan and softly chuckled, "Haoxuan! Didn't you say you should apply ice to your swollen foot?" The
quick-witted and perceptive Li Haoxuan replied without hesitation, "Yes, I'll go buy some for you right now."
He turned and ran towards the door without looking back. Actually, he wanted to use this opportunity to escape the awkward and uneasy situation; he was afraid of being caught in the middle.
Watching Li Haoxuan's departing figure, Zeng Xilan chuckled and said, "Fine! You dared to use Haoxuan."
Ruan Xiaoshan glanced at Zeng Xilan and said sarcastically, "Much better than some people using their beauty to seduce others."
Zeng Xilan immediately retorted, "I'm just making reasonable use of resources. Besides, do I need beauty to deal with Haoxuan? As long as I ask him carefully, I'm not afraid he won't tell me." Ruan Xiaoshan
was genuinely afraid that Li Haoxuan would blurt out that he had gone to the women's restroom to hide and try to get revenge on her, but things had gone wrong, and she had ended up in such a sorry state. If he were to reveal the steamy scene, it would cause a huge uproar. She had to warn him before the news leaked out.
Seeing Ruan Xiaoshan's anxious and uneasy appearance, Zeng Xilan became even more curious about what had happened between them. Unable to get the information through normal means, she resorted to a gentler approach. "Shanshan! We're best friends, right?"
Ruan Xiaoshan, puzzled by her sudden change of heart, honestly replied, "Yes!"
"In that case, best friends shouldn't have any secrets from each other!"
It turned out she wasn't giving up, just using a different method. Ruan Xiaoshan, always thinking of her own interests, kept her lips tightly shut, refusing to say anything more.
Zeng Xilan pressed her advantage, feigning heartache, saying, "Think back to last month, I told you about the lumps on my chest."
"That's because you were worried about getting breast cancer, that's why you asked me to check."
"When I broke up with my boyfriend last year, I wasn't the first person to tell you."
"Tch, that's because you couldn't find anyone to confide in."
"Then what about my embarrassing childhood stories, my first love, the kind of boys I liked, the kind of girls I disliked..."
Ruan Xiaoshan found it amusing to hear Zeng Xilan rambling on and on about this. Noticing that people were starting to enter the company, she said, "Alright, alright, I don't want to hear anything more about what you're saying, but if you don't mind telling others, I won't stop you."
Zeng Xilan glanced behind her and left with a harsh remark: "You damn Shanshan, you're something else. I don't believe Haoxuan is like you."
She stormed back to the front desk.
Entering the company was Jiang Huiyin from the investment department. She wore a professional suit, her hair pulled back in a high bun, exuding a dignified and beautiful aura. Her swan-like neck and skin as white as ivory were striking features. She was a beautiful and virtuous woman with a graceful and noble demeanor. With a voluptuous figure, elegant demeanor, and modern style, she exuded youthful sexiness and beauty despite being thirty, no less stunning than Zeng Xilan. A glance revealed Zeng Xilan emerging from inside, still looking sullen. Jiang Huiyin asked疑惑地问道, "Xiaolan, pouting so early in the morning, who made you angry? Was it Haoxuan?"
If Li Haoxuan heard this, he would definitely cry foul. It's understandable why she asked; anyone else would assume it was Li Haoxuan, since he's the first one to arrive at the company.
Afraid that Jiang Huiyin might have misunderstood her, Zeng Xilan smiled sweetly and said, "Sister Yin, it's not what you think. I'm angry with someone else."
Jiang Huiyin was secretly puzzled. Who could it be so early in the morning? Could there be someone else inside? Carrying her small bag, she walked towards her desk, puzzled. Upon closer inspection, she noticed Ruan Xiaoshan already seated at her desk. Smiling, she greeted her, "Xiaoshan, why are you here so early today? It's not like you."
Ruan Xiaoshan replied calmly, "Yes! Something came up today, so I came a little early."
Her expression was composed, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Huiyin, completely bewildered, returned to her desk and sat down. While her computer started up, she pondered: What could have made her come so early? Could it be a fight with Zeng Xilan? There's a high chance they've had some kind of conflict. Otherwise, why would Zeng Xilan have stormed out of there so angrily? But what could be so upsetting so early in the morning? Could it be about Li Haoxuan? That doesn't seem likely; they're such good sisters, why would they fight over a young boy? Thinking about it seriously, even if the sisters were really angry, it was just a little tiff. Once they calmed down, they would be back to normal. Why should an outsider like me worry about something so trivial?
When Li Haoxuan returned with the ice, it was already past work hours, so the office was packed. Not wanting to draw too much attention, he casually walked over to Ruan Xiaoshan and gently placed the bag of ice down. But Sun Lanjuan, sitting nearby, noticed Li Haoxuan's unusual behavior and immediately exclaimed, "Haoxuan, what are you giving Shanshan?" Her voice wasn't loud
, but it was enough to attract everyone's attention.
Li Haoxuan cursed inwardly, "She's so observant and talkative! Even if she saw it, she didn't need to shout! And she made it sound so ambiguous. It was just a purchase, not a gift." Ruan Xiaoshan also cursed her inwardly and glared at her.
To everyone's surprise, Sun Lanjuan seemed unfazed. Instead, she snatched the bag of ice from Ruan Xiaoshan's table, almost dropping it at the cold touch. Li Haoxuan quickly called out, "Careful, don't break it!"
Sun Lanjuan, clutching the bag, looked at Li Haoxuan with great confusion and said, "Haoxuan, why did you buy ice so early in the morning? Even simple soy milk and fried dough sticks would have shown your thoughtfulness!"
This only drew more attention, with everyone speculating about the significance of the ice. Unfortunately, they couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried. However, three other people had different ideas. Yan Feiying, a neighbor, found it strange that the two, who had argued yesterday, were suddenly on better terms today. As far as she knew, Ruan Xiaoshan had been angry and plotting against Li Haoxuan when she left work yesterday. But their relationship had improved so quickly overnight. Had they settled things privately?
Zhou Meiran, however, thought Li Haoxuan was using the excuse of delivering ice to express his desire to reconcile. She secretly chuckled at how Li Haoxuan was completely under Ruan Xiaoshan's thumb, feeling neither sympathy nor schadenfreude, simply finding their playful antics amusing. It added a touch of fun to the monotonous office life, offering a moment of relaxation and relief from mental and physical fatigue while staring intently at the computer screen.
Hu Jun, on the other hand, was focused on how Li Haoxuan had managed to coax Ruan Xiaoshan from her furious outburst yesterday to a slightly angry but not truly furious demeanor today. This was something he absolutely had to learn; who knew he'd end up provoking her that day?
Ruan Xiaoshan snatched the ice from Sun Lanjuan, pinched her thigh, and whispered, "Little Juanjuan, are you unhappy because I haven't 'taken care' of you for a few days?" She
deliberately emphasized the word "taken care," then added in a slightly louder voice, "This ice was bought by Haoxuan for me to apply to my feet, not what you think."
Sun Lanjuan, feigning concern, asked, "Shanshan, what happened to your feet?"
She lowered her head, staring intently at Ruan Xiaoshan's feet, as if trying to discern something.
Yan Feiying also asked worriedly, "What happened? Are you hurt?"
Li Haoxuan seized the opportunity to say, "Sister Shan, you should quickly apply ice, otherwise it will melt quickly in this hot weather."
The onlookers then understood why Li Haoxuan had given Ruan Xiaoshan the ice, and immediately began speculating about how Ruan Xiaoshan had injured herself—could it be related to Li Haoxuan? Not wanting to become the center of attention, Li Haoxuan quickly used work as an excuse, ignoring the puzzled looks of the crowd, and left the scene of trouble.
Everyone then realized it was early morning, during working hours. If it weren't for the company's lenient rules, they probably would have already been reprimanded by the boss. Of course, otherwise, they wouldn't dare chat and watch the drama so openly.
Ruan Xiaoshan glared at Sun Lanjuan, then sat down and bent over to apply the slightly melted ice to her injured area. The moment it touched her, she felt a cool, comfortable sensation. After a while, the swelling in her ankle noticeably subsided. Looking at her beautiful legs, she unconsciously recalled the scene earlier when Li Haoxuan massaged, caressed, and played with her. Ruan Xiaoshan was quite confident in her feet; Li Haoxuan's actions this morning further proved that her long, shapely legs could attract men's attention.
Thinking back to not stopping his advances or being unable to control herself, Ruan Xiaoshan felt a surge of shame. Her fair cheeks flushed red. Even now, she couldn't understand why she had allowed Li Haoxuan to be so indecent. If it were any other man, she probably would have given him a good beating. Could it be that she had fallen for this handsome young man a few years younger than her? Ruan Xiaoshan shook her head in denial, thinking it impossible, making excuses for herself, claiming that she had only acted out of necessity.
Yan Feiying noticed Ruan Xiaoshan shaking her head inwardly, looking distracted, and called her name softly a few times. Ruan Xiaoshan seemed lost in thought and didn't hear her at all. Worried, Yan Feiying patted her shoulder and asked, "Shanshan, what's wrong?"
Ruan Xiaoshan snapped out of her reverie and, seeing Yan Feiying's concerned message, quickly forced a smile, afraid they would notice something was wrong, and said, "Nothing, just thinking about some things."
Yan Feiying glanced at her worriedly and said softly, "Don't overthink things during work hours. Quickly finish what you're doing and get to work!"
Ruan Xiaoshan stuck out her cute tongue at Yan Feiying and giggled, "Okay, okay, don't think that only you are trying so hard."
Yan Feiying wrinkled her delicate nose, ignoring Ruan Xiaoshan, and continued staring at the data on the computer screen. Ruan Xiaoshan, without giving it a second thought, tossed the bag of ice in her hand into the wastebasket, composed herself, and began her workday.

Chapter 50: The Kitchen's Fragrance
Li Haoxuan, returning home from work, heard the sounds of cooking coming from the kitchen, the aroma wafting through the air. He went to the kitchen door and saw Chen Yuqing preparing dinner with her back to him. She wore a light blouse and an apron, and a short white skirt, revealing her long, white legs. The apron straps tied at her waist accentuated the full curves of her hips. Her voluptuous and alluring figure, coupled with her smooth, white legs, made Li Haoxuan's mouth water.
He tiptoed behind Chen Yuqing, hugged her waist, and kissed her neck, "Sister, I missed you so much!"
"Ah!"
Chen Yuqing exclaimed in surprise. Hearing Li Haoxuan's voice, she playfully scolded, "Honestly, you walk so quietly, you scared me to death!"
Li Haoxuan wrapped his arms around Chen Yuqing's waist, resting his chin on her right shoulder, and exclaimed, "That's because you were too focused, sister, that's why I didn't notice."
He then took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good! It's such a blessing to be able to eat your delicious food."
Chen Yuqing lightly patted Li Haoxuan's forehead and said sweetly, "You! Stop it!" "You've been sweet-talking me, but I'm afraid you'll get tired of it if you eat too much."
Li Haoxuan said with ecstasy, "Even if I ate like this for a lifetime, I wouldn't feel it's enough."
For a moment, the two were silent, silently feeling each other's deep affection and love. Soon, Chen Yuqing felt Li Haoxuan's hand caressing her beautiful buttocks through her skirt. They were plump, soft, and fleshy. Li Haoxuan's hand lifted her short skirt and slipped between her buttocks, caressing and kneading her rounded thighs, stimulating her to gasp and feel weak all over. The movement of her hands frying vegetables slowed down.
Chen Yuqing couldn't help but pause, tremble, and breathe faster. She felt something hot and hard pressing against her buttocks and knew what was happening. Her face flushed red. Thinking that her daughter was still in the bedroom, and that the consequences would be unimaginable if they were discovered, she hurriedly pulled Li Haoxuan's hand away from between her buttocks. She gasped softly, "Little brother, don't do this, Xiuxiu will see."
Upon hearing the name Xiuxiu, Li Haoxuan's lust subsided considerably, but his hands remained on Chen Yuqing's waist, only ceasing their movements. Chen Yuqing, on the other hand, felt a sense of loss. Having tasted the sweetness of love, and now craving more, Li Haoxuan, having abstained from sex for three consecutive days due to Su Xiuwan's return, found it unbearable to have no chance to taste Chen Yuqing's beauty again. He was especially frustrated by the fact that every night he had to endure her wearing a revealing nightgown, whispering in Chen Yuqing's ear, "Sister, I've missed you so much, I want to eat you."
Then, as if afraid Chen Yuqing wouldn't believe him, he pressed his magnificent, hot, and hard member against the crevice of her plump, upturned buttocks.
Caught off guard, Chen Yuqing let out a soft moan; if Li Haoxuan hadn't been holding her, she would have almost collapsed. Chen Yuqing was no different. At the age of primal lust, once she had tasted it, how could she forget the pleasure? But for the sake of her daughter, she had suppressed her desires. Now, stirred by Li Haoxuan, her heart was already fluttering with desire, her passion surging, her lust overflowing, her desire burning brightly, her private parts wet and muddy. If it weren't for the last vestige of reason reminding her that now was not the time, the flames of lust might have already engulfed her entire body. "Sister wants you too. How about you come to my room tonight after Xiuxiu falls asleep?"
Upon hearing this, Li Haoxuan was filled with excitement and couldn't help but kiss Chen Yuqing's cheek, murmuring, "Sister, you're so good."
Seeing Li Haoxuan so happy because of her words, Chen Yuqing felt deep down that her decision was right. Thinking of another intense lovemaking session that night, her thong became wet again.
"Mom, is Xuan-ge back yet?"
Su Xiuwan's voice came from the living room. Li Haoxuan hurriedly got off Chen Yuqing's body and stood aside pretending to watch. Chen Yuqing hurriedly straightened her clothes and pretended to stir the food simmering in the pot.
Chen Yuqing naturally replied, "He's back, helping Mom with her studies."
Then Su Xiuwan appeared in the doorway, playfully scolding, "Xuan-ge, why didn't you say you were coming back?"
Li Haoxuan turned to face Su Xiuwan and chuckled, "I was afraid of disturbing your studies."
Su Xiuwan happily replied, "It's summer vacation now. Even if I love studying, I still need to make the most of my time to play."
Then she added, "I was just chatting online with a friend."
Li Haoxuan pressed, "Was it a boy or a girl?"
Su Xiuwan's heart leaped with joy, but instead of answering, she countered, "So what if it was a boy?"
“I’m worried you might make some bad friends online. You know how complicated the internet is these days, I’m afraid you’ll get scammed,”
Li Haoxuan said anxiously. Chen Yuqing also knew the two-way nature of the internet; since she couldn’t stop her daughter from going online, she could only educate and guide her more. She worriedly advised, “Yes! Xiuxiu, you have to be careful, don’t easily trust anyone.”
Seeing Chen Yuqing and Li Haoxuan’s overly nervous expressions, Su Xiuwan chuckled and said, “Mom, Brother Xuan, don’t worry! I’m not an ignorant girl anymore, I can distinguish right from wrong. Besides, the people I chat with are female classmates from school, so you can relax and not worry about me.”
The time after dinner felt particularly long to Li Haoxuan. He would glance at the clock on the wall from time to time, only to find that time seemed to be working against him, moving exceptionally slowly. It felt like an eternity. Li Haoxuan looked up and found that it was still a little past ten o’clock.
Su Xiuwan, however, showed no signs of sleepiness. Instead, she watched the boring South Korean idol drama with great interest and full of energy. The same formula, the same ending, the same sentimentalism—so boring, childish, and uninteresting plots, awkward Korean dialogue—it would only corrupt a bunch of students. Li Haoxuan, on the other hand, found inspirational and legendary dramas far more appealing.
Li Haoxuan wasn't exactly a radical youth, just a patriot. It wasn't that he hated South Korea, but rather that these South Korean countries had gone too far. This tiny country dared to steal and invade Chinese culture! South Korean culture undoubtedly originated from China; to achieve independence, they had to steal from their parents—no different from the Japanese invasion of China. The only difference was that the Japanese used open force with guns and cannons, while the South Koreans used cultural invasion.
Leaving aside their application to have the "Gangneung Danoje Festival," which originated in China, declared a World Heritage Site, just the things these South Korean countries were currently promoting made Li Haoxuan furious. Claims abound that Chinese characters were invented by South Koreans, that Shennong and Li Shizhen were Koreans, that acupuncture and the *Compendium of Materia Medica* belong to South Korea, that "Traditional Chinese Medicine" is actually "Korean Medicine," that Confucius was verified as South Korean, that movable type printing was invented by South Koreans, that history books claim the Korean people awakened the Yellow River civilization of Central China and the Hongshan civilization of Manchuria during their migrations, that the three northeastern provinces of China were the historical stage of the South Korean people, and that Chiyou, one of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, was traced back to a South Korean ancestor.
This is all the rage. What has emboldened South Korea to be so audacious in this endlessly debated cultural issue? While the Chinese are still wildly obsessed with Korean culture and spiritually empty, South Korea is already spying on our five-thousand-year-old civilization. While the Chinese are still hating Japan and cursing its so-called "cultural invasion," our precious heritage is already in grave danger. Yet, no one is paying attention to this issue. We don't even know what those so-called experts are doing. As early as 2002, South Koreans were already vehemently arguing that the script originated from South Korea, not from China.
Why does South Korea so relentlessly vie for China's cultural history, while the Chinese people seem indifferent and continue their self-indulgent pursuits? South Korea possesses a strong sense of national responsibility, while China lacks it. China is not united or cohesive enough, or perhaps this is a deep-seated flaw in the Chinese character—"it doesn't concern me, it doesn't concern me."
Su Xiuwan noticed that Li Haoxuan was staring intently at the clock, as if something was amiss. He had been oblivious to the TV drama she found captivating, and now he seemed lost in thought. "Brother Xuan, what's wrong?"
Li Haoxuan, snapping out of his reverie, replied casually, "Nothing!"
"Nothing? Then why are you staring at the time so absentmindedly?"
"Oh, well, I have things to do at the company tomorrow, so I want to go to bed early, but I'm afraid I won't be able to fall asleep if it's too early."
Li Haoxuan stammered, trying to explain. Hearing Li Haoxuan's clumsy explanation, Chen Yuqing, who truly understood his thoughts, secretly smiled, afraid she might accidentally burst out laughing.
Su Xiuwan kindly advised, "It's getting late! I think you should go to sleep early, Brother Xuan! Even if you can't fall asleep right away, it's better than sitting here."
Li Haoxuan chuckled awkwardly and said, "That's true. I'll go back to my room first. Goodnight, Sister Qing and Xiuxiu."
After saying that, he glanced at Chen Yuqing a few times when Su Xiuwan wasn't paying attention, signaling her to tell Su Xiuwan to get some rest.
Watching Li Haoxuan enter the room, Chen Yuqing pretended to be sleepy, yawned, and said, "Xiuxiu, Mom wants to go to sleep too. When are you planning to go to sleep?"
Su Xiuwan turned around and said softly, "I'll be there soon too. I can finish watching in about twenty more minutes."
Chen Yuqing had no choice but to get up and say, "Go to sleep early after you finish watching. Staying up too late is bad for your skin."
"Okay, Mom, you go to sleep first! You have to go to work tomorrow. I can sleep in."
Li Haoxuan lay on the bed and waited anxiously for more than twenty minutes. Finally, he heard Su Xiuwan enter the room. After another half hour, when he heard no more sounds coming from Su Xiuwan's room next door, Li Haoxuan couldn't wait any longer and carefully walked out of the room to Chen Yuqing's room. He gently pulled the handle and opened the door, then slowly closed it behind him.
Li Haoxuan turned around and saw that Chen Yuqing was already lying on the bed. Her rapid breathing proved that she was still awake. Li Haoxuan quickly stripped off his simple shorts and t-shirt, then slipped naked under Chen Yuqing's sheets, his hands touching her equally naked body.
Through the dim light from the window, Li Haoxuan could clearly see Chen Yuqing's fair and pretty face, flushed with a light blush, her white skin and delicate body dazzling him. His heart raced at her full, rounded breasts and alluring breath. Her already beautiful and sexy face was now even more captivating. This alluring, voluptuous body exuded the seduction of a mature woman; yet her face remained as pure as a virgin's. These two contrasting beauties blended together on this exquisite body, truly arousing his blood and stirring within him a desire to utterly ravage this purity and fully indulge in this temptation.
