Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace-Chapter 278 - 276 Chun Lan’s Presumptuous Decision

Drizzling rain.

In the room, Chen Mo wrapped one arm around Jiang Ruoqing's waist, grabbed her leg with the other, placing it on his waist, his large hand casually caressing her smooth, fair thigh, saying:

"Since you're already my woman, you two will meet sooner or later. She's wonderful, you don't need to worry."

Was she worried? Not at all, she was just embarrassed. That person had a proper marriage, but herself?

When they really meet, she would lack confidence.

"I... I'll think about it." Jiang Ruoqing put her leg down from Chen Mo's body, then propped herself up, but the soreness nearly made her fall back.

But since she was a Second-Grade Martial Artist, such a thing wouldn't hurt her muscles or bones, taking a deep breath, she propped herself up again. However, just then, Chen Mo gently pulled her back into his embrace. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"It's still early, let's sleep some more, it's still raining outside." Chen Mo stroked Jiang Ruoqing's hair, whispering softly.

If it weren't for Chen Mo's hand moving up her leg, Jiang Ruoqing would have almost fallen asleep. She slapped his hand away, saying, "Even if I'm your canary, you can't bully me like this."

"What are you saying, how could I bear to bully you?" Chen Mo lowered his head and kissed Jiang Ruoqing's lips, whispering sweetly, just wanting Jiang Ruoqing to truly settle her heart and see herself as his woman.

Instead of being so guarded against him as she was now.

Chen Mo still didn't know her true background.

And Jiang Ruoqing found it difficult to adapt to this affectionate state between the two, even if it felt quite nice, it made her uncomfortable and fidgety, and her heart was in turmoil.

But when she twisted a bit, seemingly wanting to struggle out of Chen Mo's arms, he tightened his grip slightly, saying, "In a few days, the people the Imperial City Department sent to investigate in Jiangnan should come back, then we'll likely have news of that lecherous monk."

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoqing finally settled down.

Seeing it had an effect, Chen Mo continued, "Don't worry, once there's news, I'll tell you immediately, and then I'll accompany you to Jiangnan to settle it."

Jiang Ruoqing's heart trembled a little, and she felt a bit of Chen Mo's regard for her.

"Tha...Thank you."

"We're family, no need to say thank you. If you really want to thank me, just call me a good brother again." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Hearing this, Jiang Ruoqing's cold and stunning face immediately turned into an expression of awkwardness, not knowing how to act coquettishly, she just glared at Chen Mo, eyes smoldering a bit.

"Just kidding, just kidding... by the way..."

Chen Mo released Jiang Ruoqing and moved to the edge of the bed, picking up his robe from the floor, and handed her a jade pendant he carried with him:

"I noticed you don't have many decent gold and silver ornaments, so I'm giving you this jade pendant. It's my favorite one, no other woman has it, so you have to take good care of it for me."

Seeing her not accepting it, Chen Mo directly placed it in her hand.

Making Jiang Ruoqing grit her teeth and glare at him.

Today, Chen Mo stayed with her almost the entire day.

He accompanied her for breakfast and lunch.

Even when the rain stopped, he walked with her in the mansion, even exchanging guidance and pointers.

And all Chen Mo presented was a gentle and refined demeanor.

When Jiang Ruoqing started to immerse herself, Chen Mo only then brought up the serious matters.

After hearing Chen Mo's words, Jiang Ruoqing's expression turned cold again.

Although nominally she was Chen Mo's canary and didn't have deep feelings for him, she was still a woman. Now that she had given her body to him, naturally she cared a bit.

But now this man in front of her wanted her to meet his other two women, how could she feel good?

Chen Mo held her hand, gazing at her affectionately: "I know this is difficult for you, but I can't leave Bianliang recently, and you're the only one who can help me..."

Chen Mo explained how important she was to him, even saying he couldn't live without her.

Although these words seemed a bit insincere, they were truly heartfelt for Chen Mo.

Seeing Chen Mo's pleading eyes, thinking about his earlier promise to accompany her to Jiangnan for revenge, Jiang Ruoqing suppressed her anger and said, "This is the last time."

"Of course, just this once. I really had no other choice but to ask you to go..." Chen Mo held Jiang Ruoqing's hand, speaking softly, "Ruoqing, rest assured, my feelings for you are absolutely sincere, I'm not using you because I like her more..."

Although Jiang Ruoqing was perceptive, she was inexperienced in the world, especially in matters of relationships, being almost as innocent as a child. And at her age, not thinking about such things was fine, but now that she became Chen Mo's woman, it awakened her femininity, making her quite susceptible to Chen Mo's sweet talk.

The angst in her heart eased quite a bit.

Even though Chen Mo had other matters to handle today, having coaxed her to this point, leaving would be making all his efforts in vain, so he continued to accompany her.

However, her personality was quite introverted.

Of course, her introversion wasn't like Ye Wanqiu and Xu Miaozhen's gentle introversion.

She smiled rarely, spoke less than other women, but wasn't timid, and had her own opinions.

...

Chen Mo spent the entire day with Jiang Ruoqing.

This troubled Zhao Jiangning.

After coming to the Chen Mansion, he waited for Chen Mo for an hour, but didn't even see his shadow.

He had said to let him know if she needed help with anything, but now she couldn't even see him, making Zhao Jiangning feel a bit trifled with.

Just as Zhao Jiangning felt lost, angry, and even inexplicably aggrieved and was about to leave, Chun Lan stopped her.

"Prince De Ning, please wait." Chun Lan came in front of Zhao Jiangning, bowing slightly in respect.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Jiangning furrowed her brows, she recognized Chun Lan, as every time she came to the Chen Mansion, it was Chun Lan who first attended to her, knowing her deep connection with Chen Mo, perhaps even some dubious aspect.

"Is Your Highness still waiting for my master?" Chun Lan asked respectfully.

Wasn't that obvious?

Zhao Jiangning nodded.

Seeing this, Chun Lan understood. She too was a woman, and after misunderstanding the affair between her master and the Prince, plus witnessing the Prince's demeanor yesterday when she left and her current appearance.

Chun Lan immediately realized the Prince probably was having a spat with the master, and the master too didn't want to indulge the Prince, so he specifically hid away today, not seeing her.

With a quick thought, Chun Lan took it upon herself to say:

"Your Highness, actually, the master instructed me long ago, he has matters today, and if he doesn't return by the late afternoon, he won't come back. If Your Highness came, I should apologize to you on his behalf. The master definitely didn't intentionally avoid seeing you, he actually likes you very much and often praises you in front of me..."
