Chapter 266

As thoughts reach a certain depth, longing only intensifies.

Looking at the chat window on her phone, Lin Wan Ning felt that it was about time to have sent A Ying off to A University, so she typed out a message.

After sending the message, she saw the brief flash of “Typing...” on the screen before it disappeared.

Lin Wan Ning couldn’t help but smile. Someone like her brother must be feeling quite conflicted right now, right?

So she continued typing.

Pursuing such beauty may be dishonorable, but she had already done it and would never regret it.

...

Long Ao Tian stared at the message on his phone and let out a deep breath.

He glanced at the crowd of students in the cultural studies class and quietly made his way to the back door...

A pair of sentimental eyes blinked gently, carrying a hint of a smile as she watched him sneak out through the back door.

Once outside, he spotted Lin Wan Ning sitting quietly on a bench, waiting.

“Brother.” Upon seeing Long Ao Tian, Lin Wan Ning instinctively wanted to stand up, her joy blooming like ice flowers, beautiful enough to captivate anyone’s gaze.

“Are you okay?” Seeing her awkward movements, he knew she must be in pain.

“I’m fine, brother. I miss you.” Lin Wan Ning’s straightforwardness left Long Ao Tian at a loss.

She claimed to have nothing, yet she poured everything into him...

**Chapter 324: Lin Wan Ning’s Answer**

“I really miss you, very, very much,” Lin Wan Ning said candidly.

She raised her hand to her chest. “Right here, I’m thinking of you.”

“Don’t say things like that.” Long Ao Tian turned his head away, looking elsewhere.

“But I can’t control myself.” Lin Wan Ning stood up and tightly hugged Long Ao Tian.

“Brother, you wouldn’t want A Ying to know about this, would you?”

At her words, Long Ao Tian looked at Lin Wan Ning in surprise.

“You... didn’t you say you wouldn’t tell A Ying?”

Her silly, dazed expression made Lin Wan Ning laugh. This foolish brother was so easily deceived that he’d be left with nothing but bones.

She looked at Long Ao Tian, who blinked innocently. “Brother, haven’t you heard that the prettier a woman is, the more she can deceive?”

“Just yesterday, Wan Ning became your woman.”

After saying this, Lin Wan Ning found it amusing and felt a bit wicked herself. “After all, you wouldn’t want A Ying to know our little secret, right?”

“Wan Ning, this isn’t good.” Long Ao Tian frowned.

“Let’s do this: if you promise me one thing, I won’t say a word. As long as we cooperate well, A Ying won’t find out.” Lin Wan Ning raised three fingers to the sky.

Long Ao Tian sensed that Lin Wan Ning was serious this time, fingers raised and all, so he asked, “What is it?”

“Brother, come with me.”

“Wait.” Just to be safe, Long Ao Tian confirmed again, “You can’t trick me.”

“I won’t.” She said, pulling on his sleeve as they walked toward a nearby small hotel where the three of them often stayed.

“Here?”

“Yes.” Lin Wan Ning nodded calmly, seemingly unaware of anything amiss.

Long Ao Tian instinctively frowned and kept his distance from Lin Wan Ning.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Wan Ning laughed but shot him a glare. “Brother, what are you thinking?”

“This time I don’t have handcuffs, and my legs are still aching like crazy. My lower abdomen is still bloated and painful...”

Although most of Lin Wan Ning’s symptoms were self-inflicted, Long Ao Tian genuinely couldn’t understand what she was up to!

Noticing his wary expression, Lin Wan Ning pretended to be a bit angry. “I see now, brother, your thoughts aren’t healthy. Do you really want to go again when I’m in this state?”

“No, I didn’t mean that...” His blunt words left Long Ao Tian at a loss for how to respond.

“Then what are you afraid of? Afraid that a little woman like me will take advantage of you?”

“Yesterday, your massage felt really good. You even warned me that I’d be bloated and in pain today, so you actually understand how uncomfortable I feel right now...”

“I want you to help me with a massage. Really, I’m in this state. Unless you’re feeling particularly beastly, what do you think I can do? I can’t even squat down.”

Recalling Lin Wan Ning’s posture from yesterday, Long Ao Tian chose silence. If it was just this, perhaps he could keep Wan Ning’s secret...

Even if it meant hurting Wan Ning, even if she was the one suffering, Long Ao Tian truly felt he had no other choice.

In his mind, he recalled the little girl placing her bank card in his hand, saying, “This is all my money. I trust you, Long Ge. I’ll stick with you, so please don’t be unhappy, okay...”

It really should end here...

Entering the room, Lin Wan Ning walked into the bathroom and handed her unlocked phone to Long Ao Tian. “Brother, there’s a video on my phone. You should watch it first. I’ll be quick.”

Without waiting for Long Ao Tian’s response, she stepped into the bathroom.

Long Ao Tian instinctively glanced at the video interface on the phone.

He stood frozen in place.

Because the video showed the courtyard of the Siheyuan (a traditional Chinese courtyard house).

Living in the Siheyuan every day, Long Ao Tian was all too familiar with it.

He clicked play, and suggestive sounds filled the air. Watching the actions of the two people on screen, his mind went blank for a moment...

Then came a sharp scream.

The scream shattered Long Ao Tian’s already blank mind, and thinking something had happened, he immediately pushed open the bathroom door.

As soon as he opened the door, he was met with the sight of fair skin clinging to him.

“You care about me,” Lin Wan Ning said, tightly hugging Long Ao Tian. “Because your instinctive actions can’t lie.”

Water splashed from the showerhead, hitting them both. Long Ao Tian looked at Lin Wan Ning in his arms. “The video on your phone...”

“I filmed it. I told you a long time ago that if I ever did something bad and you didn’t forgive me, I’d threaten you.”

“You wouldn’t want that video to end up on A Ying’s phone, would you?”

As she spoke, her body slowly pressed down...

Rough, incredibly rough.

Crying, she looked at Long Ao Tian, the blood on her lips glaringly bright.

Long Ao Tian halted his movements, the metallic taste of blood filling his mouth.

He watched her eyes turn red from crying, yet she held back her voice...

Long Ao Tian gasped, struggling to control himself, wanting to get up!

In the next moment, his neck sank, a warm touch, clumsy kisses, their breaths growing heavier in the air!

Feeling the pace gradually slow...

Tears dampened the corners of her eyes, but this time, it wasn’t just suppressed sobs; she cried out loud, yet smiled at the same time. She knew that at this moment, at least for this moment, she had entered Long Ao Tian’s heart.

“Not angry anymore?” Her weak voice carried a hint of relief. “If you’re still angry, then teach me a lesson for A Ying again...”

Looking at Lin Wan Ning’s pale, bloodless cheeks, he murmured, “I’m sorry to her.”

“It’s my fault. I did everything. You’re quite innocent in this. If we must say, you’re the victim here; I’ve had ulterior motives toward you...”

Lin Wan Ning had prepared to bear this blame from the very beginning.

In fact, Long Ao Tian had no idea about anything before he was shackled with the silver bracelet.

Lin Wan Ning was also quite confident in her appearance and figure. Even if anyone else were in that deliberately provocative situation, it would be impossible not to react at all.

“A Ying is my sister; she will always be your first choice.”

“I’m willing to be the third...”

With tears glistening in her eyes, carrying a hint of pleading, she was willing to give up all her dignity. This was Lin Wan Ning’s answer...

**[Thank you for the gift, the vulture bows in gratitude...]**

**Chapter 325: Humility is Dust**

Lin Wan Ning’s words left Long Ao Tian momentarily stunned.

He looked down at Lin Wan Ning, who lay in his arms, her eyes slightly red, her disheveled black hair sticking to her fair skin, evoking an inexplicable sense of fragility.
