After The Honest Person Was Discovered For Simultaneously Pursuing Three People - Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Matters of a Sexual Nature

There are numerous rituals in a funeral for a prestigious family, with grand procedures including setting up the memorial hall, public memorial services, and the funeral procession. Moreover, the deceased was the eldest daughter of the Wu family, who was once a prominent figure in Hong Kong business circles. The ceremony would only be more solemn and complex. Therefore, a large portion of the political and business elite came to Haizhou.

Authoritative news agencies from China reported on the event, and media from Malaysia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom also rushed to Haizhou.

Countless people were crowded outside the iron gate with the rose pattern, just to get firsthand information on the inside story of the wealthy family’s death, or to take a gossip photo of a celebrity to grab headlines.

More than a funeral, it was an opportunity for the Song family to strengthen their ties in the political and business sectors. Thus, hundreds of servants were working tirelessly, and very few people paid attention to the situation on the second floor of the villa, unless the masters gave instructions to deliver something.

However, last night, Song Yucong slept holding Tao Ning. He would occasionally wake up to feel the temperature of the person beside him to see if the fever had gone down. Besides that, he didn’t call the servants to disturb their hard-won peace.

Tao Ning was nestled in Song Yucong’s arms. The man’s body temperature was very low, and since Tao Ning was running a low fever, his perception of the surrounding temperature was a bit off. With Song Yucong holding him from behind, Tao Ning felt like he was being hugged by a tall, human-shaped ice block.

He felt cold and wanted to move, but Tao Ning had learned a lot from Zhao Jingqun recently. He knew it was better not to move at this time, otherwise Song Yucong would accuse him of saying lewd words again.

It was very quiet all around, and they could only hear each other’s breathing. The bedroom’s soundproofing was excellent, but occasionally, a very faint car sound would come from outside the window. Tao Ning knew it was a sign of people coming to mourn at the Song family. Monks had also been invited to chant scriptures. The public memorial service was tomorrow, and if his fever went down, Tao Ning would go down to pay his respects.

He missed Tao Yuan, Xiao Meng, the system, Ah Yun… and also Zhao Jingqun and Xu Jun.

“Song Yucong.” Tao Ning said, his back to the man behind him. “Tell me the truth, why did you fire Ah Yun?”

Silence for a long time. Then, the man behind him let out a cold snort, followed by a muffled voice. Tao Ning could feel the vibrations in his chest. “I’m going to put Song Rongguo in jail and let him rot there until he dies. I’ll also sell this estate. Why would I keep those servants? They’re not good people. Hmph… mind your own business.”

When the man said these things, his tone was awkward and arrogant, but the hatred in his words was undisguised. It was as if a trapped beast, about to break free from its cage, was going to turn around and bite everyone in the cage to death, sparing only the people related to Tao Ning.

So that’s how it was. Tao Ning felt a dark cloud hovering over his head. According to Song Yucong, a big change was coming to the Song family soon. He knew the reason but wouldn’t try to persuade Song Yucong to let go of past grudges; he would only worry about him.

“Oh… then be careful.” But after thinking for a long time, Tao Ning didn’t know how to comfort him. “If you need me for anything, I will do my best to help you.”

The arms wrapped around his waist tightened. A sneer came from behind him, but the voice contained an undisguisable pleasure. “What can a country bumpkin like you do to help me?” The following words were somewhat muffled. “You’re so sick… you can barely take care of yourself. Just stay with me obediently.”

My good intentions are wasted on a fool. Tao Ning very lightly kicked the man behind him with his foot and whispered in protest, “Why can’t I? If things go wrong and they try to arrest you, I can calculate how to run with the least effort.”

Not only did the bumpkin have little conscience, but he was also becoming quick-witted. Song Yucong was so angry that he pinned down Tao Ning’s troublesome leg. The distance between them became even closer. With just a slight movement, they could feel each other’s every heartbeat and emotion.

An ambiguous warmth spread silently. Song Yucong’s anger vanished in an instant. In the dim light, he stared almost obsessively at Tao Ning’s exposed earlobe and the white, swan-like neck behind his stray hair.

With soft, warm jade in his arms, he couldn’t help but want to lean in and take a few bites.

A moment later, he uncomfortably moved his gaze away. Song Yucong released the person in his arms, specifically putting some distance between his lower body and Tao Ning. He tentatively asked, “Hey, bumpkin… have you… have you ever done that kind of thing?”

“What kind of thing?”

“…Just that kind of thing.”

After a moment of silence, Tao Ning said, “If you don’t say it, I won’t know what kind of thing you’re talking about.”

He didn’t know that the man behind him had turned red. Song Yucong said with a heavier tone, “Just that kind of thing!”

Tao Ning fell silent again. After a while, he turned over, looked at the person in front of him whose eyes were flickering and face was flushed, and said helplessly, “I really can’t guess what kind of thing it is.”

Song Yucong was so angry he was ready to explode. He gritted his teeth and blurted out, “I mean you sleeping with someone!” The moment he said it, Song Yucong stared at Tao Ning’s expression, but to his surprise, the bumpkin showed no reaction, not even a hint of shyness. He was furious, and his face instantly twisted. “Have you been sleeping with other people behind my back?!”

Tao Ning didn’t know how to answer, because someone had just interrogated him about this not long ago. Although the method of interrogation was different, the content of the questioning was similar.

He wanted to tell the truth. Regarding kissing and sexual matters… his perception and experience of these things only came from the three people he was trying to conquer. It wasn’t that he was repulsed by those things, but rather that Tao Ning’s interest wasn’t in them.

But for now, he had to calm the man down first. Tao Ning said, “No.”

Sure enough, these words instantly extinguished the bomb that Song Yucong was about to light. He snorted coldly, “I didn’t think you would dare. Don’t forget, you’re still my slave. Your… your body can only belong to me.”

Tao Ning had a very good memory and reminded him, “Our slave contract was only valid during your recovery period last time. Now that your injuries are healed, we are equal citizens, and… the slave society has been a thing of the past for thousands of years.”

Song Yucong was so angry he felt smoke coming out of his head. He glared at him. “Am I discussing our slave relationship with you? You bumpkin, have you studied so much you’ve become an idiot? Shut up!”

Tao Ning was silent. He never expected to be called an idiot for studying, and by someone he thought was very dense.

He wanted to clarify the matter with Song Yucong, but the man in front of him suddenly turned over with a great deal of noise and faced away, ignoring him.

The next morning, the family doctor came to check Tao Ning’s body again and left after confirming that the fever had subsided. A servant gave Tao Ning a black suit with a white chrysanthemum corsage. Almost everyone who came to mourn was dressed like this, one after another, like hypocritical puppets in exquisite skin.

Song Yucong had left in the early morning. He came back just as Tao Ning was changing clothes. He seemed to still be angry about last night, and when he looked at Tao Ning, his eyes were full of displeasure.

Finally, he let out a heavy snort. “There will be a lot of people at the public memorial service. Make sure to stay close to me later. Don’t wander off.”

Tao Ning didn’t even notice that he was still angry. He just gave a very obedient “Oh.”
