Chapter 913 Not as Good as You
The emotions of both of them are intertwined, from shallow to deep, one is crazy, the other is throbbing, they look at each other eagerly, and are inseparable.
A kiss that lasted for who knows how long.
Zhuang Shao stood still, not daring to move at all; he felt uneasy and did not dare to make any sound.
Finally, with courage and resolve, he responded passionately and hugged her tightly, wanting to give her his love.
Feeling his fierce attack, Leng Man playfully broke free from his embrace and deliberately backed away to indicate her refusal.
Zhuang Shao was deeply moved and lingering on his emotions, unable to extricate himself. He hugged her again and with great force pushed her to lie on the rocks.
His behavior was a little rough and he looked mentally impaired, which was very different from his usual graceful demeanor.
Leng Man did not resist, but just asked softly in his ear.
"You and I haven't gotten married yet, Xuanlang is trying to play with us?"
After her reminder, Zhuang Shao suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and helped her sit up.
"Yes...I'm sorry..."
Seeing him step back and keep his distance, Leng Man moved closer and threw herself into his arms again.
"Do you like my method of relieving tension, Xuanlang?"
There was a hint of shame and sadness between Zhuang Shao's brows.
"like."
Her long eyelashes hide a hint of inferiority in her eyes.
"But I am no longer young and pretty, doesn't Xuanlang feel disgusted?"
Zhuang Shao expressed his admiration.
“Not really.”
"In my opinion, you are the most beautiful. No matter how old you are, you are the most beautiful woman in the world."
Leng Man was coquettish and felt a little jealous.
"Xuan Lang is so complimentary."
"Your adopted daughter is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the world."
Zhuang Shao was so absorbed in his studies that he forgot about the others for a moment.
"Adopted daughter?"
"Who is my adopted daughter?"
"Oh, yes, Wei'er."
"Weier looks ordinary. I think she is not as good as you."
Leng Man exposed the lie and asked.
"How dare you say that in front of her?"
Zhuang Shao's expression was as calm and relaxed as the scenery behind him.
"Yeah, of course."
"This is the truth, why don't I dare to tell Wei'er?"
Leng Man curled her lips, refusing to believe it.
"Humph, you say one thing and mean another, just trying to bluff me."
"What man in the world, upon seeing Madam Mei, would not praise her for her beauty and splendor?"
"Are you an exception?"
Zhuang Shao was extremely confident.
"Weier, compared to others, she is indeed as charming as a flower, but compared to you, she is nothing."
The sweet words sounded sincere and Leng Man was satisfied and smiled.
"You just said that you would obey me in everything?"
Zhuang Shao looked at her, mesmerized.
"Well, it's up to you."
She has a cold appearance and is a bit willful.
"Then you should hurry to Xu's house and tell her this."
Zhuang Shao glanced at the time.
"If you go to Xu's house, you may not be able to see her."
"I left a note and ran away. Wei'er should still be looking for me."
Leng Man gave a solution.
"The people in the Xu Mansion know where Madam Mei has gone. You can tell them to call Madam Mei back."
Zhuang Shao responded with a smile.
"it is good."
The two men rode on the same horse and went down the mountain.
Leng Man sent out signals along the way to inform all the servants that she had found the master.
Seeing that the master's plan had worked, Ning Yunxi, the servant, cleared a way out of the mountain and released the servants.
It was almost dusk when Leng Man and the other person arrived at Xu's house.
Without waiting for the servants to go out and ask the master to come back, Xu Mingqian and Ning Jiewei returned home first.
The servant reported that Lord Jingshan and Miss Leng had come and were drinking tea in the lobby.
Xu Mingqian waved his hand, signaling the servants to leave, and then glanced at his wife.
"Shall I go with you?"
Ning Jiewei smiled and shook her head.
"Master, go back home, I will take care of it myself."
Xu Mingqian was obedient.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news."
When they arrived at the lobby, after the formalities, the three of them took their seats.
Noticing the hostility still in her stepmother's eyes, Ning Jiewei understood what she meant and immediately made an expression of disgust.
"Why did godfather bring her here? What a bummer."
"She was kicked out of the house by the master and is no longer a member of our Xu Mansion."
Leng Man was already accustomed to her true face and was too lazy to pay attention to it.
Zhuang Shao explained the reason seriously.
"I came here just to tell you that you are plain-looking and Man'er is much more beautiful than you."
"You are not as good as Man'er at all."
These words did not sound like those of her adoptive father. When Ning Jiewei heard them, she knew they were instructed by her adoptive mother.
Knowing that her stepmother wanted to see her angry and embarrassed, she smiled secretly and fulfilled her stepmother's wish by showing her anger.
"What did you say?"
"You said, my appearance is not as good as hers?!"
Although he could see that it was a show at a glance, Zhuang Shao did not expose it.
"Correct."
Ning Jiewei frowned.
"I'll give you one chance. If you change your mind immediately, I'll forgive you."
Zhuang Shao took it calmly.
"That's the truth. I have nothing to change."
Ning Jiewei was furious. She ignored etiquette and suddenly pointed her spear at others.
"Fang Zhixuan, you know that I care most about my appearance, but you still say hurtful words to me and attack me where I am hurt. You have such sinister intentions!"
"Everyone in the world says that I am the most beautiful woman in Yuesheng. You have two ears, but didn't you hear it?"
"How dare you compare me with such an old and ugly woman? You, you are really going too far!"
She turned to Leng Man and asked angrily.
"Have you forgotten that before you set out to look for your adoptive father, you said that you would take the blame and allow me to punish you?"
"Is this your attitude of asking for forgiveness?"
"What a cold girl who keeps her word!"
Leng Man faced Ning Jiewei's sharp edge.
"Madam Mei couldn't handle just a few words? You have very little patience."
"You should learn from me."
"Before, you wronged me many times, but I just swallowed my anger and didn't argue with you at all, nor did I force you to apologize."
Ning Jiewei glanced at her with disdain.
"I want to learn from you? Ha, what a joke."
"I was born to enjoy happiness, which cannot be compared with your life of suffering."
Leng Man did not lose a bit of momentum.
"As a concubine's daughter, I have no luck in living a life of luxury at home. For more than 20 years, I have not been loved by my father. I don't know where I and your poor Aunt Pan are recuperating."
“It is clear at a glance who is destined to suffer and who is destined to enjoy happiness.”
Ning Jiewei argued slowly.
"You have indeed been living a life of luxury for more than 20 years, so what?"
“A person can live to be a hundred years old, but can only wait to be married for twenty to thirty years at most. The one who laughs last is the one who truly enjoys happiness.”
Leng Man was arrogant.
"How can you be sure who has the last laugh?"
Ning Jiewei is so arrogant.
"Isn't the situation clear enough?"
"I am Madam Mei, the second rank official, and the wife of Prime Minister Tongshi."
"Excuse me, what is the rank of this noble man?"
Leng Man was very proud.
"I will soon become a lady of the first rank, the wife of a duke, no more, no less, half a level older than you."
Suddenly hearing that she agreed to get married, Zhuang Shao couldn't suppress the happiness on his face.
Ning Jiewei rolled her eyes at her.
"What are you dreaming about, the Duke's wife?"
"Hahaha, forgive me for asking directly, which gentleman is so blind as to fancy a middle-aged woman like you?"
Zhuang Shao couldn't wait to answer.
"it's me."
He stated.
"It's not that I don't have a clear vision, Man'er is not an old lady, Wei'er, don't talk nonsense."
Leng Man raised her eyebrows and smiled smugly at Ning Jiewei, looking like a smug villain.
Ning Jiewei looked a little embarrassed.
"Leng Man, don't be too happy too soon."
"The marriage has not been decided yet. It's just verbal talk and cannot be counted."
"My godfather is just playing with you."
"An abandoned woman, a middle-aged lady, dreaming of marrying the Duke of the Fang clan, haha, it's really laughable."
