Chapter 1976

“You…”

Ning Anran seemed to want to say something, but ultimately didn’t, her face turning crimson.

“What, are you planning to stand with him against Mr. Xuri?”

Shentu Sheng’s gaze had already fallen on Ning Anran’s chest.

Those full curves made people impulsive, wishing they could pounce immediately and grab them hard.

“Don’t forget your own status. Being with him won’t lead anywhere, you might as well be with me.”

Last night, while dancing with her, he didn’t know how many chances he got to take liberties with her.

The girl didn’t refuse; as long as it wasn’t too much, even if her chest was touched, she just softly moaned twice.

That sound was simply soul-stirring!

Had there not been a crowd, if it were just the two of them, he would have pinned her to the ground, making her scream underneath him.

This woman, who let him touch her last night, was now becoming reserved when it was just the two of them.

It made him think she was deliberately trying to allure him.

“My Shentu family will soon collaborate with Mr. Xuri to completely drive Mu Xiaojiu out of Jin City.”

Looking at Ning Anran, he boasted again, “As long as you’re with me, I guarantee a life of glory and wealth, everything you wish for.”

Of course, the premise being he hadn’t gotten bored of her.

Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but take a deep breath, her whole body trembling; this news was truly shocking.

Mu Xuri, who was also Mr. Xuri, was actually joining forces with the Shentu Family, planning to weaken Mr. Xiaojiu’s influence in Jin City?

Did Mr. Xiaojiu know about this?

Mr. Xiaojiu, although not showing much respect for Mr. Xuri, definitely had some level of respect.

Did he know that Mu Xuri was already making moves behind the scenes?

Xiaoxiao quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, afraid she’d involuntarily cry out.

However, this slight movement still caught Shentu Sheng’s attention.

“Who’s there?” Shentu Sheng squinted slightly, looking towards the sea of flowers.

Ning Anran felt a shock in her heart and hurriedly looked around.

But asides from the wind making the flowers sway, she saw nothing.

Shentu Sheng’s thick eyebrows slightly furrowed, and the sea of flowers quieted down.

However, he knew he didn’t hear wrong.

He gave Ning Anran a signal and started walking towards the sea of flowers, step by step.

Only five or six meters away from Xiaoxiao, if he took a few more steps, he would surely find the trampled patch of flowers where Xiaoxiao was hiding.

With a flutter, a bird flew up from the flowers at Shentu Sheng’s feet, disappearing quickly into the sky.

“Just a damn bird,” he muttered softly, turning back to Ning Anran’s side.

Ning Anran let out two gentle breaths, the weight in her heart easing.

For a moment earlier, she was indeed scared.

If anyone had overheard her conversation with Shentu Sheng, if it had been one of Mr. Xiaojiu’s men, she’d be kicked out of the Mu family immediately.

She glared at Shentu Sheng and scolded, “Don’t babble next time, it’ll be trouble if overheard.”

Shentu Sheng chuckled, “What are you afraid of? In such a desolate place, who could hear?”

Finishing his words, he raised his hand to embrace Ning Anran’s waist.

Ning Anran swiftly dodged aside, avoiding his arm, and immediately headed down the mountain.

Xiaoxiao heard the voices gradually fade away until she couldn’t hear them anymore, then slowly crawled out from the flowers.

She hadn’t heard much, but she needed to tell Mr. Xiaojiu immediately.

She looked around but still didn’t spot Ye Hua’s figure.

That damned Ye Hua, why is he away for so long at a time like this?
