Chapter 136 - What To Do if You’re the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

He Yunxiao had to admit that, even though he was already quite skilled in sweet talk, he was no match for Du Meimei's "all for you" romantic tactics. In front of Du Meimei, everyone was utterly defeated. He had tried to advise Du Meimei regarding her mindset and personality a few times before, but it had little effect. It was hard to argue with someone who offered their whole heart and soul to you unconditionally. It was impossible to simply stay mad and put on a stern face in front of her. The only solution seemed to be pampering her more. Indeed, he needed to pamper her more. After returning to Du Meimei's boudoir, He Yunxiao pampered her thoroughly twice and used up two handkerchiefs. Later, with Du Meimei's assistance, He Yunxiao had the honor of experiencing "nuclear power" for the first time. He Yunxiao's review of "nuclear power" was that it was very strong. Just like a nuclear-powered submarine, "nuclear power" had a large design scale, long diving time, powerful attack capability, and very short ammunition loading intervals, almost amounting to "infinite firepower." After the first attempt, Du Meimei was too tired to speak. He felt sorry for Du Meimei, and decided once was enough. Then, he embraced her, wiped her mouth, fed her water, and massaged her face to ease her fatigue. After a brief moment of tenderness, He Yunxiao raised the main topic. "Yinyin, I have something to ask you." Du Yinyin had originally been comfortably leaning in her young master's arms, but on hearing him speak, she intended to sit up and listen to his question. However, just as she thought to rise, He Yunxiao pulled her back down. Du Yinyin could only respond while nestled in He Yunxiao's embrace. "Young Master, you know Yinyin will tell you anything." He Yunxiao asked, "Your sister Ziruo, does she particularly care about ethical principles and norms?" Du Yinyin nodded and said, "Sister does indeed value propriety, but not excessively conservative. There are some areas where she can be flexible if you talk to her sensibly, or give her some time to think, she'll understand." He Yunxiao inquired, "For example, can she accept the idea of 'liking her master'?" Du Yinyin shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not. There's a saying: 'Once as a master, forever as a father.' Even I, let alone Sister, can't accept it." He Yunxiao teased, "If I were Yinyin's master, would you not accept it?" Du Yinyin hastily sat up from his embrace and explained in a fluster, "Young Master is different! Whatever it is, Yinyin is Young Master's Yinyin. I am the little maid, the little servant at Young Master's disposal." Tapping Du Meimei's nose, He Yunxiao said, "Are you the kind of little maid who can bear Young Master's child?" Blushing, Du Yinyin bit her lip, summoned the courage, and leaned down to untie He Yunxiao's belt. "As long as Young Master doesn't mind, I'm willing to bear as many children as Young Master desires." He Yunxiao's "nuclear power" was launched again, and he wasn't afraid; after all, it was "nuclear power," and he feared no amount of it. However, he didn't want Du Meimei to be too tired to talk at this critical moment. This would waste the whole afternoon. It wasn't that He Yunxiao didn't like it; it was just that he urgently needed to break through Fan Ziruo's inhibitions. If Ziruo's affection level didn't reach 80, he would have to worry about Chu Fan staying in the Fan family all the time. He couldn't leave during the day and had to go to the Linxuan Palace at night. At this rate, the ladies wouldn't be able to handle it, especially Sister Jiang. She had already waited for three days after agreeing to a week, and she needed ten thousand taels. The pressure was quite high. He quickly stopped Du Meimei from continuing and said, "Let's not talk about that for now. Let's talk about your sister Ziruo." Perplexed, Du Yinyin asked, "What does Young Master want to talk about?" He Yunxiao had already discussed his intention to pursue Ziruo with Du Meimei in the grove, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly said, "My relationship with your sister is progressing very slowly recently. I think it might be because of our 'teacher-student' relationship." Du Meimei tilted her head and pondered for a while before saying with a hint of doubt, "I have heard that Young Master has been teaching her to write novels. And Sister has been teaching Young Master the articles for the imperial examinations. Can this kind of relationship be considered 'teacher and student'?" He himself felt that it didn't count; it was more like classmates helping each other out. But the issue wasn't what he thought; it was what Fan Ziruo thought. He Yunxiao smiled wryly and said, "I feel that my relationship with Ziruo is more like that of classmates helping each other out. But my thoughts don't matter; it depends on how your sister sees it." With a puzzled expression, Du Yinyin asked, "So, does Young Master want Yinyin to help persuade Sister?" Indeed, that's what He Yunxiao thought, and that was also his reason for coming to Du Meimei. However, he couldn't say it like that. He knew that Du Meimei was not someone to be deceived. Moreover, she was clever and probably had an idea of his intentions. After some consideration, He Yunxiao ultimately gave up the idea of sweet-talking Du Meimei. He couldn't bow low to his boss at work; it was a matter of survival, understandable. But Du Meimei and Nan Zhu were both his leading ladies, and he should treat them equally. He didn't want to deceive Du Meimei just because Nan Zhu didn't want to be deceived, and then take advantage of Du Meimei's tolerance to sweet-talk her. Although sometimes speaking nicely did win a woman's favor, He Yunxiao didn't want to do that anymore. Besides, Du Meimei's affection for him, at over 90, didn't require any more sweet talk. He Yunxiao pulled Du Meimei back into his embrace, hugged her quietly, placed his head on her shoulder, and rubbed his cheek against her hair and face. He murmured, "Initially, I intended for you to help me persuade Ziruo. Even my purpose for coming to you was this. However, now, I don't want you to go anymore." Listening to her young master's tender words, Du Yinyin didn't care at all about his intentions in seeking her out. For her, being "used" by her young master was already a great happiness. Upon hearing, "I don't want you to go anymore," she curiously asked, "Why doesn't Young Master want Yinyin to go now?" He Yunxiao turned his head, kissed Du Meimei's fragrant cheek, and said, "Right now, I just want to play with handkerchiefs with you a few more times." On hearing "play with handkerchiefs," Du Yinyin's face instantly turned red. Since the first "handkerchief play," she had trouble falling asleep some nights, repeatedly replaying the scene in her mind. Sometimes, she even wanted to try it herself. But the thought that her body was reserved for her young master, and only he could touch it, held her back each night. Today, she finally got to experience that feeling again... Of course, Du Yinyin wanted to continue playing with her young master, but she didn't let it cloud her judgment. She knew what was important. She could play with handkerchiefs anytime, but the matter with her sister couldn't be further delayed. If it were easy to resolve, her young master wouldn't have come to her. After understanding this, she said to He Yunxiao, "Young Master, may Yinyin go and talk to Sister?" He Yunxiao was willing, but he said, "After playing with the handkerchief one more time, then I'll let you go." Du Yinyin was shocked. They had already played three times today; if they played again, would it create a certain impression about herself in her young master's mind? Looking at Du Meimei, outwardly reluctant but physically honest, He Yunxiao couldn't help but smile. Simultaneously, his hands heated up, he got into the rhythm, and his operation gradually entered its prime... Tl: Soothsayer.io
