Chapter 90: I Want to Do It With You Once

Lin Meng hadn’t expected Zhou Mengqing to react this way. He explained earnestly, "Sister Mengqing, you’re overthinking it. I absolutely have no such intentions."

"Oh? Then tell me, what are you thinking?" Zhou Mengqing asked with amusement.

Lin Meng organized his words mentally before speaking slowly. "Sister Mengqing, I just want to protect Qiaolian’s reputation. I won’t do anything to hurt you. I offered money just so we could both have peace of mind."

"That sounds nice, but if you’re so afraid of Qiaolian being gossiped about behind her back, why did you mess around with her?" Zhou Mengqing asked with a hint of sarcasm.

Lin Meng felt a bit uncomfortable and retorted, "I’m unmarried, and she’s a widow. We’re both single, so this doesn’t count as messing around, right?"

Zhou Mengqing wore a faint, ambiguous smile. "If it’s not messing around, why are you afraid I’ll tell everyone?"

Lin Meng furrowed his brow, his patience wearing thin.

Zhou Mengqing’s words were laced with hidden barbs, as if she were deliberately toying with him. It was a complete departure from her usual personality.

"Sister Mengqing, just tell me what it’ll take for you to keep our secret!" Lin Meng’s tone grew firmer.

"What if I said I don’t want to keep it a secret? What if I want to see how you treat Qiaolian once the word gets out?" Zhou Mengqing studied Lin Meng, her beautiful eyes filled with playful intrigue.

"It’s simple. I don’t want this to get out because it would be too troublesome.

"But if it comes to that, the worst-case scenario is that I buy her a house in the county town and move her there. Then the villagers can say whatever they want," Lin Meng replied without hesitation.

"But if you do that, your reputations in the village will be ruined. Are you really not afraid of that?" Zhou Mengqing’s pretty face grew more serious.

Lin Meng scoffed dismissively. "I’m a grown man. What do I have to be afraid of? Besides, once I move to the county town, no matter how nasty their words are, deep down they’ll be incredibly envious and jealous. They’ll know I’m no longer in the same world as them. Nothing they say will affect me!"

Seeing how serious Lin Meng was, Zhou Mengqing fell into a deep silence.

Her gaze turned vacant, as if she were recalling something from the past.

A minute or two later, the light returned to Zhou Mengqing’s eyes. She let out a soft laugh. "Xiaomeng, I couldn’t tell. You may be young, but deep down, you’re a real man.

"Don’t worry. Qiaolian and I are good friends, and she’s helped me out a lot. I’m not an ungrateful person.

"Even if you hadn’t come looking for me, I wouldn’t have told anyone about this."

Lin Meng was stunned. He couldn’t understand this woman at all. "Then what was all that you just said..." he asked instinctively.

"I was just testing you to see what kind of man you really are. If you were prepared to sever ties with Qiaolian the moment things were exposed, I would’ve told her to kick you to the curb tomorrow!" Zhou Mengqing smiled like a cunning little fox.

Alright then!

So that was Zhou Mengqing’s goal all along.

While rendered speechless, Lin Meng also heaved a sigh of relief.

Regardless, the matter was finally settled.

As he was thinking, Zhou Mengqing suddenly stood up. She took two steps toward him, closing the distance between them.

Lin Meng’s breathing instantly grew heavier. Catching the faint fragrance wafting from her body, he secretly swallowed hard.

Zhou Mengqing was already beautiful, and her well-fitting dress hugged her curves tightly. It accentuated her incredibly slender waist and highlighted her full, perfectly rounded rear, which looked just like a ripe peach.

Beneath the hemline, her long, slender legs were bared without reservation. Her plump thighs exuded a rich sensuality, while her jade-like skin emanated a soft glow under the starlight, looking so delicate that it seemed water would seep out with just a gentle pinch.

She was so breathtakingly gorgeous that it made his mind reel, rendering him unable to control himself.

"Xiaomeng, you should be at ease now.

"However, there’s something I want to ask you, and you have to answer me honestly.

"Otherwise, if you make me angry, I just might change my mind," Zhou Mengqing said, her gaze flowing like water and her voice turning sultry.

"Sister Mengqing, what do you want to ask?" Faced with Zhou Mengqing’s sudden shift in demeanor, Lin Meng’s body instantly tensed up.

An ambiguous smile appeared on Zhou Mengqing’s face. "When did you and Qiaolian hook up?"

Lin Meng felt a bit guilty. "About a month ago."

Zhou Mengqing let out a long "Oh," then asked, "So, who made the first move?"

"Well..." Lin Meng was pondering how to answer this question.

Zhou Mengqing’s beautiful eyes shone brightly as she beat him to the punch. "I bet it was Qiaolian, right? At your age, even if you had those thoughts, you wouldn’t have the guts.

"But Qiaolian is a widow who knows what it’s like. After being lonely and starved for so many years, and approaching that voracious age, she definitely couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Hmm... as for why she chose you, she probably caught a glimpse of what you’re packing and was instantly hooked."

Listening to her words, Lin Meng was utterly dumbfounded!

This woman’s guess was way too accurate! It was as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

"Looks like I guessed right."

Seeing Lin Meng’s reaction, Zhou Mengqing’s seductive smile deepened. Her moist, fragrant tongue gently licked her pink lips. "Xiaomeng, when you do that kind of thing with Qiaolian, does it feel good?"

Lin Meng looked bewildered, completely at a loss for words.

The things this woman was asking were getting increasingly explicit. What exactly was she trying to do?

"If you don’t answer, I’m going to get angry." Zhou Mengqing arched her elegant eyebrows. Although it was a threat, her voice was dripping with a bone-meltingly sultry charm.

"It feels good. Really good," Lin Meng said, taking a deep breath and nodding emphatically.

Hearing this answer, Zhou Mengqing took another step forward, pressing almost flush against Lin Meng’s burning body.

Then, she proactively grabbed one of Lin Meng’s hands, her beautiful eyes seemingly brimming with spring water. "Then, are you willing to do it with me?"

Lin Meng’s eyes snapped wide open. He was so shocked that his breathing stopped entirely. He even suspected he had misheard her.

Ignoring his reaction, Zhou Mengqing let out a faint sigh. "Xiaomeng, Qiaolian must have told you that I’m divorced. Now that I’m back, I’ll probably never leave for the rest of my life.

"But she definitely doesn’t know that before I got married, there was already someone I liked. My parents forced me to marry my husband just for the bride price. Not long after the wedding, I ran off to find work. I never let him touch me; instead, I went to find the man I actually liked.

"We were together for a while, and I gave him all the money I earned. But when I brought up getting a divorce so I could marry him, he wasn’t even willing to part with a few tens of thousands of yuan to compensate my husband in name only. So, I completely gave up on him.

"We had a falling out. I demanded my money back, compensated the family that had married me, and then got my divorce certificate. In my heart, I swore I would never trust a man again, let alone get married.

"But I forgot that I’m a woman who has tasted intimacy. Once you know that kind of pleasure, no matter how much you try to restrain yourself, you can’t help but reminisce about how wonderful it was when I did those things with my boyfriend.

"Yet, whenever I thought of him, I felt utterly disgusted. Because of that, I’ve been in a lot of pain lately.

"That is, until that day, when I saw you and Qiaolian doing it. Your terrifying endowment and sheer ferocity were seared into my mind. I couldn’t forget it no matter how hard I tried.

"Since that day, the object of my fantasies actually became you. My cravings only grew stronger, even though thoughts of my ex-boyfriend would still occasionally pop up.

"So, I want to truly do it with you once, to see if I can finally forget him for good..."
