After repeated persuasions were ineffective, Ning Fan no longer refused.
Two jade hands slowly climbed up his back, watching the scars on Ning Fan's back, Xu Rongfei felt somewhat distressed.
She slowly brought her mouth to the wounds, her delicate red lips releasing a vivid tongue tip that gently licked the area around.
"Does it hurt?" Xu Rongfei asked softly, her maternal radiance fully blossoming at that moment.
Ning Fan sat stiffly upright, his body a bit rigid, and turned his head to smile awkwardly, "It's nothing serious, I could have done it myself..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Rongfei gave him a reproachful look.
At this point, Ning Fan had nothing more to say, so he could only face forward, trying not to think too much.
Xu Rongfei saw Ning Fan looking deflated and turned her head back, but she couldn't help giggling. However, she still remembered that Ning Fan had injuries and that he was waiting for her to suck out the poison.
Her delicate lips touched Ning Fan's wound gently kissing it, then enveloping it, a flash of coolness passing through Ning Fan's heart.
Gently sucking at the wound's poisonous blood, Xu Rongfei spat it out bit by bit, her fair forehead already covered with sweat.
After getting used to it, Ning Fan's body gradually relaxed, but the ambiguous atmosphere in the room made him still feel like he should not make any rash movements.
The hands of the clock on the living room wall unknowingly moved to the next number, and the whole room was heating up.
"Cough cough cough..."
After spitting out the bitter poisonous blood, Xu Rongfei's lips had almost completely turned purple.
Ning Fan turned around and seeing Xu Rongfei covering her mouth, he immediately became anxious, "Are you alright?"
"I should be... alright." Xu Rongfei replied with a smile on her face.
Ning Fan looked at Xu Rongfei's purple lips with concern, and leaned in to check.
"How could this possibly be alright!" Ning Fan gently wiped the blood from the corner of Xu Rongfei's mouth with his finger and looked closely, reassured only after confirming the blood's toxicity was not very strong.
Fortunately, Ning Fan's blood had significantly reduced the venom's toxicity; otherwise, he would have never allowed Xu Rongfei to extract it for him.
This wasn't just something simple that could be done out of kindness; there were consequences to consider.
Now seeing Xu Rongfei's purple lips, Ning Fan was still feeling a bit regretful, to be honest.
"The toxicity isn't very strong; just rinse your mouth later, and if anything feels off, you must tell me," Ning Fan said seriously.
But for some reason, Xu Rongfei started laughing, leaving Ning Fan utterly puzzled.
"You look very charming when you're serious!"
It was less about liking the way Ning Fan looked and more about how moved she was by his caring demeanor. Everything she did seemed worthwhile, at least it brought them closer together.
However, Xu Rongfei's comment made Ning Fan start to feel embarrassed.
Seeing Ning Fan's uncomfortable expression, Xu Rongfei's gaze turned sly.
Just then, Ning Fan's phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw it was a call from Xu Ruolan.
Ning Fan didn't think much, answering the phone in front of Xu Rongfei, "Hello, what's up?"
Xu Ruolan should currently be with Xu Xiaoqing and Ah Yu, so there shouldn't be any safety issues, which led Ning Fan to consider other possibilities.
For instance, if Ruolan found out about him and Aunt Rongfei being together...
Thinking of this, Ning Fan started to feel guilty.
Rongfei seemed to have sensed something at this moment, as her expression dimmed slightly, but she quickly reignited her fighting spirit.
"Nangong Fu's body has been found. Can we hold a funeral for him?"
Ruolan's tone was very melancholic. When she mentioned this, it was not in a discussing tone but a request.
Ning Fan was slightly startled, and subconsciously replied, "Can't you decide on this kind of thing by yourself?"
As soon as he spoke, Ning Fan regretted it. Why was he so quick to speak at this time?
Ruolan was clearly saddened by the death of her innocent relative at this moment, and honestly, speaking in such a detached tone was a bit hurtful.
However, Ruolan didn't show any particular reaction on her end, she just uttered a soft "Hmm" and then hung up the phone.
Ning Fan guessed her mood must not be very good at the moment and couldn't help sighing.
"Was that a call from Ruolan?"
There was nothing really to hide, Ning Fan casually responded.
"Nangong Fu's body has been found, he has been murdered, express your condolences."
Thinking that Nangong Fu was also Rongfei's relative, Ning Fan casually expressed his condolences.
Upon hearing that Nangong Fu had been murdered, Rongfei's expression also turned somber as she murmured, "How are we going to explain this to the Nangong Family..."
The Nangong Family were distant relatives of the Xu Family, and when Nangong Fu returned to the country this time, the people from the Nangong Family had repeatedly asked the Xu Family to take good care of him.
However, Nangong Fu was targeted by the Fang Guild on his first day back and brutally murdered, a fact that was indeed difficult to explain to the Nangong Family.
"Ruolan mentioned arranging a funeral for Nangong Fu. I should be going soon."
Since Ruolan said she would prepare a funeral for Nangong Fu, Ning Fan knew her well enough to realize she must be consoling Xu Xiaoqing first before rushing to handle the preparations.
Having just experienced a life-and-death crisis and now having to deal with other matters, Ning Fan couldn't help but shake his head and wryly smile.
But this matter was also somewhat related to him, as Nangong Fu had been targeted because the Fang Guild was after Ning Fan.
Although it was not a direct cause, it was still an indirect reason.
So even though Ning Fan wasn't fond of Nangong Fu, at this time, he couldn't just stay uninvolved.
Rongfei's expression changed again and again when she heard Ning Fan was leaving, but in the end, she managed a slightly disappointed smile.
"I'm leaving now. Remember what I just said, rest well later, and contact me anytime if there's anything."
"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?"
"...You can contact me anytime."
This time, Ning Fan didn't refuse Rongfei, as he couldn't bear to reject her tender sentiments time and again.
Rongfei, hearing this, felt much relieved.
After dressing up, Ning Fan then left Rongfei's house.
Standing in the bathroom, Rongfei looked at herself in the mirror, clenched her fist, raised her hand, and started to psych herself up.
