"Sister-in-law, sorry, I was just taking a shower!"
Lin Fan led Nie Yinghong all the way to the second-floor tea room, which Zhu Zhixuan had specially arranged for him, complete with tea sets and a tea table. However, it wasn’t until Lin Fan sat down in the master’s Taishi Chair that he realized Xu Jingyi, completely naked, was curled up under the tea table, looking up at him with a mischievous smile on her face.
"It’s okay... It was my fault for not letting you know... I came over without warning, I didn’t disrupt anything, did I?"
Nie Yinghong smoothed her hair and took a seat opposite Lin Fan. She had been worn out from several nights without rest, and it showed on her face, but after two days of rest and dressing up specially for the occasion, she looked very dignified. Moreover, being a natural beauty, she had taken good care of herself over the years without much worry, frequenting the beauty salon, and she was very well-maintained.
"There’s nothing to disrupt!"
Lin Fan pressed a switch, and the automatic water pump beside him started working. Underneath the tea table, Xu Jingyi had already begun her task. Kneeling on the ground, she untied the bath towel wrapped around his waist and took his not-yet-relaxed ’giant dragon’ directly into her mouth, completely lying across his lap. From the opposite angle, it was impossible to see anyone beneath the table.
"This time... I really owe it to you for handling Lao Luan’s funeral affairs so that he could leave this world with dignity. You truly are a great benefactor to our family, and I don’t even know how to repay you."
Nie Yinghong shyly raised her head, looking at the handsome Lin Fan across from her. In her water-like eyes, emotions swirled complexly. From beneath the extremely low neckline, the coat of her breasts sketched a particularly enchanting line, and her dress, fully encapsulating her exquisite figure, was even more tempting.
"It was nothing more than a small effort, especially since County Magistrate Luan had been a great help to me in the past. It really wasn’t much."
Beneath him, Xu Jingyi’s enthusiastic work caused Lin Fan to take a few extra glances at Nie Yinghong. She wasn’t a beauty in the traditional sense, the kind that one couldn’t forget at a glance, but rather the kind that grew on you the more you looked. Her eyes in particular, when squinting, seemed always to be smiling, and with her long eyelashes, each blink carried a flirtatious charm. Moreover, with her fiery figure, she had the presence of a mature woman.
Nobody could imagine that this woman with a slender waist and voluptuous figure was over forty and a mother of two. Her delicate skin and slightly rounded face gave the impression of someone in their early thirties.
"Lao Luan spent three years in Red Flag County. Although he didn’t have any significant achievements, he certainly shouldered a lot of hardships. Yet who would’ve guessed that after his death, not only was there no one to ask after him, but people even kicked him when he was down. You might not know this, but in just a few days, the Education Bureau has already been talking about settling accounts with me."
By the time Nie Yinghong mentioned this, her eyes had already begun to moisten with emotions building up to a choke.
"Will there be a problem with... this settlement?"
Lin Fan poured a cup of tea for Nie Yinghong, then leaned back in his chair, looking at Xu Jingyi below him, still greedily sucking on the Iron Pestle, enjoying herself thoroughly.
"You know how it is with paperwork, if there’s said to be a problem, there will definitely be a problem... I’ve heard the Bureau Chief has already made a statement. If the figures are out by tomorrow morning... they will proceed with the settlement against me..."
Nie Yinghong suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Fan’s hand, "Lin Fan, sister-in-law is begging you, please help me... with Lao Luan gone, both my brother and I are up for settlement... if something happens to me, what will become of my two children... They’ve already lost their father, and if they lose their mother as well... it would be all over."
"Sister-in-law, don’t panic, I’ve just arrived in Red Flag County, and I haven’t even met with the heads of the various departments yet. How about we wait a few days until I officially take office and then I’ll see what I can do?"
Seeing the urgency in Nie Yinghong’s demeanor, Lin Fan felt somewhat helpless. Unavoidable troubles had found their way to his doorstep.
"It’ll be too late by then... Once there’s a conclusion tomorrow... it would be embezzlement... sister-in-law will be prosecuted..."
Nie Yinghong didn’t let go, clinging as if to a lifesaver, "Lin Fan, sister-in-law is begging you, you must save me... Whatever you desire... sister-in-law can fulfill it for you..."
"Sister-in-law, don’t be hasty... Let me think of a solution."
Lin Fan looked helplessly at Nie Yinghong, while beneath him, Xu Jingyi was still exerting herself. With two women pulling at him in different ways, he too was at a loss.
"Sister-in-law is truly out of options now... What if... I give myself to you... Would you save me this time?"
As she spoke, Nie Yinghong stood up and simply pulled down her long dress. Underneath was a set of sheer black lingerie, faintly revealing her opulent breasts and the dark brush between her thighs.
"Sister-in-law... don’t take your clothes off... I didn’t mean it that way..."
Before he could react, Nie Yinghong moved so quickly, and Lin Fan, who was seated, couldn’t move; after all, his lower body was still being serviced by Xu Jingyi’s mouth, and even if he had wanted to take advantage of the situation, which he didn’t, Xu Jingyi was unlikely to let the Iron Pestle leave her mouth easily.
At this awkward moment, the phone suddenly rang. It was Huo Ben calling.
