Chapter 245 - 234: The Moon is Shy, The Moon is Shy, Quietly Hiding Its Head...

Chapter 245: Chapter 234: The Moon is Shy, The Moon is Shy, Quietly Hiding Its Head...

Mengde chuckled and nodded at his brother-in-law’s thanks.

’Honestly, with the current strength of my base, I can’t think of anything Gao’s Base could help me with.’

’But this is the cool and elegant Gao Lan’s older brother—my future brother-in-law.’

’I have to show him some respect!’

The group packed the supplies into the vehicles and drove back to Gao’s Base.

Mengde had originally planned to leave right away.

After all, he had only come here to save Gao Lan.

And now he’d saved his brother-in-law on the side!

’You could say my good deeds are complete.’

But Gao Qiang insisted on holding him back, not letting him leave.

And with just two sentences, he was completely convinced.

That’s right!

My convictions, as Mengde, were only worth two sentences:

"Brother-in-law, we haven’t even had a proper drink together!"

"If you leave in such a hurry, how can we properly thank you?"

AHEM...

Mengde swore to himself that he was absolutely not staying just because he’d been called "brother-in-law."

He just wanted to have a drink with his brother-in-law.

Besides, his brother-in-law had spoken with such heartfelt sincerity!

How could he possibly have the heart to refuse?

"Then I’ll do as you say, brother-in-law!"

Mengde was quick to seize the opportunity.

’Are you kidding me? Being called "brother-in-law" is a sign of approval from Gao Lan’s family!’

’I can’t be clueless about this!’

Hearing him say "brother-in-law," the two brothers, Gao Qiang and Gao Sheng, burst into laughter.

Men don’t mince words like shy women do; they don’t overthink things.

They didn’t need to spell it out. The two men understood each other perfectly.

Not far away, seemingly having overheard what Mengde and the others were saying...

...Gao Lan’s face was flushed with shyness.

’Big Brother... he’s actually discussing me with someone else...’

As her good friend, the mixed-race beauty Lina was there to comfort her.

"Xiaolan, don’t be afraid!"

"Hubby... he’s a very good man, very gentle!"

"Especially to us women."

That wasn’t a lie.

Mengde never showed special favoritism to any one woman.

But whatever he could give, he gave with all his might...

This was one of the aspects that satisfied the women the most.

Hearing this, Gao Lan became even more bashful.

She murmured softly,

"I know..."

She thought about how this man had first saved her.

Then, he had tirelessly rushed from the West District to the South District to save her two brothers.

And finally, he helped her brothers eliminate the last remaining base in the South District.

Completely unifying the South District!

Setting the last point aside, the first two alone were more than enough to earn her eternal gratitude.

At this thought, gazing at Mengde’s strong, well-built back, Gao Lan secretly made a decision...

’I’ll just need my big brother and second brother’s help...’

Mengde didn’t know what the cool beauty was thinking, but he did see a system notification:

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Goddess Gao Lan’s Affinity for you has increased by 10!]

[Current Affinity: 95!]

Mengde grinned, his mood soaring.

’Just a little more, and I can conquer this cool beauty completely!’

’With a bit more effort, I’ll... devour her soon!!!’

He looked up at the towering building before them. At the very top, the words "Gao Group" were clearly visible on a sign.

Just standing at the entrance, you could feel the immense scale of the business Gao Qiang and his brother had built.

Before the apocalypse, with his status back then, he probably wouldn’t have even been allowed in to make a delivery.

But who could have predicted that after the apocalypse, he would become the brother-in-law of the family that owned this massive corporation?

The kind that was personally approved by his brother-in-law, no less!

Life is truly unpredictable, a real roller coaster.

To express his gratitude, Gao Qiang laid out a reception of the highest standard.

All sorts of precious foods were brought out: steamed sea bass, braised pork belly, fish-fragrant eggplant, pork belly with preserved vegetables, braised prawns, sweet and sour pork ribs, kung pao chicken... all of it was served!

Although they were just ordinary home-style dishes, this was the apocalypse.

Even a bite of bread was an incredible rarity!

Let alone so many hot dishes!

This was more than enough to show his sincerity toward Mengde.

Mengde and his women, like Cheng Ying, had long since grown accustomed to such feasts.

After so many days in Villa No. 1...

...the women’s palates had become spoiled.

Now they preferred to eat healthy, maintain their figures, and drink things like "Nutri-Express"...

And there was a special way to drink this "Nutri-Express."

They wouldn’t drink it without a "special straw"...

But now, to give face to Gao Lan’s older brother, they drank and ate with gusto.

The women, like Fei’er and Cheng Ying, were all happy.

But he was in for a world of hurt!

His two brothers-in-law, Gao Qiang and Gao Sheng, actually ganged up to trick him.

They plied him with drink after drink!

One cup from you, one cup from me—it was endless.

Mengde was already a lightweight, and after all this, he felt his eyelids starting to fight to stay open...

Vaguely, he felt a delicate body being pushed into his arms.

The enchanting fragrance was completely different from that of his four women.

For his "little brother," it was also a novel experience...

It was a completely different sensation!

Like ambergris, it coiled around his senses.

Making one feel intoxicated, unable to break free.

Even Mengde’s eyes had become hazy.

He looked down. Those gold-rimmed glasses were very familiar.

’Who is this... let me think...’

Growing more inebriated, Mengde completely lost his ability to think.

Driven by the intoxicating fragrance, his lust became difficult to restrain.

His large hands began to roam without mercy!

His body was like a tightly drawn bow, ready to be released...

But just then, a cool yet gentle voice sounded.

"Mengde, can you love me?"

A warm breath brushed against his earlobe.

Instantly igniting the nameless fire in Mengde’s heart.

It also completely unleashed the demon within him...

As the saying goes: a midnight tryst that never ends, together they ride the sea of clouds in passion!

This night was a sleepless one, a night of spring breeze that knew no rest!

The warbler chirps, the swallow dances, the butterfly flits about in a hurry—a fine spring scene:

The tree trembles, the hair flutters, with every move they soar to the heavens.

Round after round, and another round...

The moon is shy, the moon is shy, it quietly hides its face.....

........

An unknown amount of time passed before the room slowly fell quiet.

Not until a fish-belly white appeared in the distant east...

...did Mengde slowly wake up.

He shook his head hard, as if trying to shake off the effects of last night’s alcohol.

Looking down at the elegant Gao Lan in his arms, he saw her face was etched with fatigue.

But amidst that fatigue, there was also the added aura of a mature young woman...

He wasn’t surprised to find Gao Lan here.

Because he now understood everything perfectly.

Last night, his two opportunistic brothers-in-law had "plotted against" him under the guise of showing their gratitude!!!

"Those two old schemers!!!"
