Chapter 489

"When I first had the pleasure of tasting Chateau Latour, I thought it was the Venus of wines."

The blonde woman swirled the dark red liquid in her goblet and muttered to herself, "It has hunted my heart, made me its captive, and I've been obsessed with it ever since."

Her alluring charm was mixed with maturity and languor. Seeing the blonde woman's sudden change in aura, Nan Zhu became even more uneasy. He was not good at dealing with women, let alone women who seemed intelligent like this.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to eat you. I know you came here to find Mr. Yao Qing to resolve your issues. Why don't you talk to your sister? Perhaps I can help you out."

The blonde woman curled a corner of her hair and smiled faintly. The child in front of her was indeed very cute, and quite to her liking.

"What an unreliable guy..."

Upon hearing the girl's words, Nan Zhu couldn't help but secretly despise Yao Qing for being so loose-lipped; he couldn't care less about anything else when he saw a beautiful woman.

He had clearly told him not to let this slip, not even to Wu Liang and the Rat, but Yao Qing herself told the blonde woman at the nightclub about it.

"Don't blame him. I got those words out of him the other day. I'm very interested in Mr. Yao Qing and in you."

"Mr. Yao Qing has always been perceived as an approachable and very humorous gentleman, but in my eyes he is mysterious and has a sense of distance that keeps people at arm's length."

"I have never seen anyone like a friend around Mr. Yao Qing, but you are the first and only person that Mr. Yao Qing values so much."

The blonde woman carefully observed the color of the wine in her glass, smelled its aroma, and finally took a small sip, savoring the rich flavor of the red wine from the tip of her tongue to the back. It has to be said that a woman who knows how to appreciate wine is extremely sexy in the eyes of outsiders. Even Nan Zhu, who doesn't know anything about wine, was attracted by the elegance she exuded unintentionally.

"Yes, really? He cares about me a lot...?"

Nan Zhu awkwardly touched his nose. He realized he must have looked incredibly stupid to have been caught spacing out.

"Yes, Mr. Yao Qing is indeed a bit unconventional in his daily life, but he is reliable in critical moments."

The blonde woman looked at the resentful Nan Zhu with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. Having some understanding of Yao Qing, she could roughly guess what the other party had done to the child.

Given Yao Qing's mischievous nature, this cute little boy must have suffered quite a bit at his hands.

"I hope so..."

Nan Zhu sighed deeply. When Yao Qing was mentioned, he could only think of the endless torment she had inflicted on him.

Whether it was their first meeting or their subsequent conversations, he was completely under Yao Qing's control and couldn't find a way to deliberately escape her clutches.

"My name is Lin Ran, and yours is Lin Ran, little one."

Lin Ran reluctantly capped the wine bottle. This kind of fine wine had to be consumed sparingly; once it was gone, it was gone. Otherwise, she'd have to ask Yao Qing for help again. Although she knew Yao Qing wouldn't refuse, she didn't want to owe Yao Qing too many favors. (After all, she already owed her quite a bit; any more and she feared she'd have to sell herself.)

"Nan Zhu".

Lu Lingyue blushed slightly and turned his head away awkwardly. The lights had been too bright earlier, so he hadn't been able to see the women's faces clearly at all, only that they all had large breasts.

However, after his eyes adjusted to the soft, pinkish-purple light, Nan Zhu realized that the blonde woman in front of him was truly beautiful.

Her alluring eyes revealed her captivating charm, and her milky white skin glowed with a seductive blush from the slight intoxication. She was like a bewitching fox, exuding an alluring aura at all times.

"I don't understand those words! Come on, type them out for me!"

Lin Ran suddenly snuggled up to Nan Zhu. She really liked this shy boy and couldn't help but want to tease him.

"Okay, okay, I'll call you and see, but please don't do it so suddenly, um, it's really too close!"

Seeing Lin Ran revert to her previous appearance, Nan Zhu quickly wrote down his name for her, speechless. How could this woman be so fickle?

"Alright~ Now we have each other's contact information. Remember to call me if you have any worries."

Lin Ran released the boy in her arms with satisfaction, smiled as she looked at the name in her contacts, and pressed the Nan Zhu on the photo of the boy who looked like he was trembling with fear after she had raped him.

"Evil... demon..."

Nan Zhu no longer cared about his image; he only wanted Yao Qing to finish quickly and take him away from here, as he was completely powerless against this woman.

I shouldn't have come. What's the point of coming here? It's a complete waste of time. They didn't even mention anything about that girl, Nan Qingshui.

"Wow! Sister Ran is eating all by herself!!!"

"Too cunning!"

"I want one too! I want one too!"

The girls, having finished playing around with Yao Qing, looked at Nan Zhu, who had been thoroughly played with by Lin Ran Nan Zhu, with their hands on their hips in dissatisfaction. However, when they saw Lin Ran's curvaceous body, they gave her an evil smile.

Forget it, since that little boy has already been dealt with by Sister Ran, we might as well take them back from Sister Ran instead!

"Well, um, I'm done playing. You guys continue."

Lin Ran felt uneasy being stared at by her sisters, and quickly pointed to Lu Lingyue on the sofa to indicate that she would not get involved anymore.

"It's too late~ Actually, I'm more interested in Sister Ran's body."

"That's right~"

As the women drew closer, Lin Ran gave an awkward smile and ran away. She knew these women very well; if she fell into their hands, she would be in big trouble.

.

"Nan Zhu, what do you think of this place?"

With lipstick marks all over her face, Yao Qing walked over and sat down next to Nan Zhu. She couldn't come here again; if Yun Xi found out, she was doomed.

"They're a little different from what I expected; they're actually all very nice people."

After a moment of silence, Nan Zhu slowly spoke, saying that although they were all nightclub girls, they were all very nice people and had a very happy time.

He was initially feeling somewhat depressed, but after experiencing that series of activities, he felt inexplicably much lighter and his mood improved considerably.

"So what I want to say to you is very simple: you don't need to worry too much about your sister's situation. Letting things take their natural course is the best solution."

"As for the relationship issues between you, they are easy to resolve. As long as you are willing and she is willing, nothing can stop you."

Yao Qing patted Nan Zhu on the shoulder, saying that as long as they could ignore worldly opinions, there was nothing to fear...

Chapter 107: The Complete Story - The Fake Siblings

Happy times always slip away unnoticed. Previously, because of Nan Qingshui's matter, Nan Zhu's nerves had been in a state of tension.

Under Yao Qing's guidance, he was finally able to relax. The young women's cheerful singing and laughter infected him, and he couldn't help but want to join them.

Perhaps Yao Qing had already noticed his current dazed state, which is why she brought him here to relax today. Although Yao Qing loves to prank herself, she still has a sensitive side that is unknown to others.

"Little brother! Come play again next time!"

Don't forget us!

The girls bid a reluctant farewell to Nan Zhu, as they adored this little boy who was like a younger brother to them.

They initially approached Nan Zhu with just a playful attitude, but after spending time together, they all fell in love with this pure and shy little guy.

Nan Zhu, what an interesting name, just like the male protagonist. Could he be the male protagonist of this world? Watching the two walk away, the charming and graceful women covered their mouths and secretly laughed.

"We should meet again, little brother."

Lin Ran leaned against the door, swirling the red wine in her glass and savoring it slowly. She watched the two figures disappear into the night and smiled faintly.

She learned a lot of good things today. She actually had no idea who Nan Zhu and Yao Qing were. She did know a little about Yao Qing, but only a small part of her knowledge.

She had always felt that Yao Qing was a bit different from ordinary people, but she couldn't figure out her identity, so she slowly led Nan Zhu to reveal the truth.

She had already harbored some suspicions about Yao Qing's identity, and after her previous conversation with Nan Zhu, Lin Ran was even more certain of her long-held suspicions. She really hadn't expected this...

There are three types of women. The first type is innocent and naive. They don't have much scheming. They tend to believe what you say easily. They are obedient, well-behaved, dependent on you, and will take care of you.

This is also the type of woman that men tend to like; they will take the initiative to protect her and shield her from the wind and rain, thus showing their masculine side.

A shrewd woman can always tell what you're thinking. She can figure out what you want from subtle clues, but she is often very proud and has absolute self-confidence.

Many men, though they don't like these women, still want to possess them, because the sense of accomplishment from conquering such strong women is something men can be very proud of.

The last type of woman is cunning and fickle. She understands men and knows what they want and don't want. Therefore, she only shows men her alluring, sexy, pure, and kind side.

Most men would go crazy for them, disregarding everything, captivated by their innate charm, becoming their loyal dogs, and Lin Ran is that kind of woman.

Lin Ran liked Yao Qing from the first time she met him, but she soon discovered that no matter how she treated him, Yao Qing remained indifferent and showed no further interest in her.

She was pure and elegant, intelligent and adaptable, and charming and alluring. She possessed unparalleled charm for men, and which man who came here wouldn't want to have her? But Yao Qing had absolutely no interest in her.

This made Lin Ran feel frustrated. Was it really because she wasn't charming enough to make Yao Qing fall in love with her? This had always been a hurdle she couldn't overcome.

But today, after chatting with Nan Zhu and getting to know Yao Qing better, she realized...

"Am I the one who's actually captivated...?"

Lin Ran looked up at the dark night sky and murmured, "Yao Qing is different from other men. He didn't come here for pleasure and relaxation."

He was merely there to appreciate the private nightlife of men whose minds were consumed by lust, and to admire how diligently these women catered to their clients.

The other person was like a third party standing outside the glitz and glamour, as if everything around him was irrelevant. His way of enjoying himself was quite peculiar; his pleasure was observing the performance of his group of guinea pigs.

"It is precisely because of his special qualities that I came to like him."

Lin Ran gave a self-deprecating laugh. What a terrifying man. She'd better make things clear with him next time he comes.

.

"Let's go somewhere else."

Yao Qing, who had been silent the whole way, suddenly spoke, glanced at Nan Zhu who was still following behind him, and turned around and walked in another direction.

"..."

Nan Zhu silently followed behind Chu Yuan. He knew where the other was going, to that place sealed in his heart, a place he resisted and could not touch.

He knew very well that running away wouldn't solve the problem, and he knew he would have to face it sooner or later, but he didn't expect that day to come so soon.

"If you're afraid to go, just say so."

As they drew closer to their destination, Nan Zhu's breathing became increasingly rapid, and his teeth chattered. This was something he had kept buried deep inside, something he had never dared to face.

How did Yao Qing know about this place? Why would he know about it? He was the only one who should know, so why did Yao Qing...?

"Aren't you surprised how I knew?"

Yao Qing knew what this meant for the Nan Zhu, and she also knew that she shouldn't have brought him here now.

But if you want Nan Zhu to open his heart and truly face his feelings, if you want Nan Zhu to become a qualified older brother, Nan Zhu must learn to face it now.

"..."

Nan Zhu gripped her arms tightly, gritted her teeth to suppress the surging fear, and moved forward with her leaden legs.

Yes, Yao Qing is right. He knows that one day he will have to settle things here, otherwise it will become a lifelong shadow for both him and Qingshui.

"You'll have to tell her the truth sooner or later, won't you? How can you convince your sister if you can't even face it yourself?"

Yao Qing never understood why Nan Zhu could act as if nothing had happened after experiencing such a thing. Decades ago, his parents and uncles all died here that night.

But now his doubts have been resolved. Although he had guessed some of them, he still wanted to see Nan Zhu's truest self, whether it was anger or fear, Nan Zhu's most genuine thoughts about the murderer.

In order to avoid living in a world of constant fear, to stop reliving the tragic scenes of her parents and relatives' deaths, and to forget the murderer's ugly appearance, Nan Zhu deliberately sealed the memory of that day deep in her heart.

The fact that he kept it a secret from his sister was his inner demon, and he was also troubled by his parents' dying wish. That's why he couldn't face his feelings for Nan Qingshui.

"It must have been tough on these two 'nominal' siblings."

Yao Qing shook her head and murmured that the term "brother and sister" was just a pretext used by Nan Zhu to Nan Qingshui, something she had already discovered when she was investigating the matter.

To prevent Nan Qingshui from being alone in this world, and to make Nan Qingshui believe that she still has her only family by her side, Nan Zhu disregarded the dying wish of Nan Qingshui's parents...

Chapter 108: The Complete Chapter - The Nan Zhu's Sin

"Nan Zhu, you've been more outstanding than everyone else since you were little, but people who are too outstanding often don't understand what [heart] is. Do you know what your own [heart] is?"

"I know, Mom. [Heart] is the heart, right? Without a heart, we would all die."

"Silly boy, the 'heart' that Mommy is referring to is not the physical heart. It's a very special thing. Sometimes it can be said that its value is more precious than your heart."
