61: Chapter 61 A Gentle and Charming Goddess! Full of Allure…

Yong Ruxin gave Zhou Liangan absolutely no chance to refuse, her soft lips instantly covering his.

A rich, faint fragrance filled Zhou Liangan's senses.

Zhou Liangan never expected that destiny points would actually actively pour into his System...

Zhou Liangan couldn't help but mutter internally, "Gal games aren't supposed to be like this!"

However, although Zhou Liangan was speechless, he still subconsciously reached out and wrapped his arms around Yong Ruxin's slender yet voluptuous waist...

The next morning, the morning light filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting mottled shadows on the luxurious leather sofa.

Yong Ruxin leaned lazily against the sofa, her fingertips gently caressing the jade bracelet on her wrist as she felt the abundant Spiritual Qi surging like a tide within her, a charming curve forming at the corner of her mouth.

When her gaze fell upon the man opposite her, it added a touch of soul-stirring allure, "Don't forget what we agreed upon yesterday. By next week at the latest, the Zhou Family must send someone to the capital to propose marriage."

Yong Ruxin's voice was seductive to the bone, as if it had hooks that could make one's bones melt.

Hearing this, Zhou Liangan felt a touch of helplessness in his heart.

She was clearly a top-tier noblewoman from a wealthy Family, yet she was so desperate to get married.

Who was Yong Ruxin?

She was the most outstanding heir of this generation of the Yong Family in the capital, holding half of the Yong Family's assets. Her Spiritual Qi was among the best of her peers, and her appearance and figure were impeccable.

She had a palm-sized oval face, skin as white and delicate as snow, and a pair of peach-blossom eyes that were full of allure with every glance. In particular, her slender, beautiful legs were crossed, and the skin exposed beneath her skirt was enough to dazzle anyone.

A woman like this should have been the center of attention; why would she be in such a rush to marry herself off?

Zhou Liangan's face carried an indescribable expression.

Yong Ruxin seemed to sense Zhou Liangan's inner thoughts. She raised her slender fingers and lightly licked her luscious red lips, a gesture full of temptation.

Her beautiful eyes swept over Zhou Liangan with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. Her voice suddenly softened, drawing out the end of her sentence with a coquettish tone, "Hubby~ Our two families marrying will be a huge benefit for both the Zhou Family and the Yong Family. Don't be petty, okay~"

This "Hubby" was called out so sweetly and cloyingly that it made Zhou Liangan's scalp tingle.

He rubbed his temples helplessly, "Rest assured, I will definitely do what I promised you. However, that Liang Zichen must be caught as soon as possible."

Mentioning Liang Zichen, Zhou Liangan's eyes instantly became sharp, and his aura turned colder.

Hearing this, Yong Ruxin tilted her head, resting her elbows on her knees and her chin in her hands. Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Zhou Liangan, "A good-for-nothing from a fallen Family, Hubby, aren't you valuing him too highly?"

Zhou Liangan sighed, his voice filled with helplessness and a hidden meaning that others couldn't understand, "Because for me, Liang Zichen has something I need. His role is far more important than you imagine."

As he spoke, Zhou Liangan looked up at Yong Ruxin, his gaze becoming incomparably serious, and his tone deepened, "Remember, you only need to help me find out Liang Zichen's whereabouts. If you have any news, notify me immediately."

Seeing Zhou Liangan's serious expression, a hint of strangeness appeared in Yong Ruxin's eyes.

Someone who could make Zhou Liangan care so much definitely wasn't simple.

But Yong Ruxin couldn't help but be curious, what secret was Liang Zichen hiding?

Zhou Liangan naturally understood that this woman, Yong Ruxin, was always ambitious and meticulous. She appeared to be following his rhythm, but in reality, she was calculating her own plans.

He half-squinted his eyes, his gaze casually sweeping over Yong Ruxin's exquisite figure, and a smile that wasn't quite a smile curled at the corner of his mouth, "Regarding Liang Zichen, you had better put away your little schemes. If we get married and you are obedient, I naturally won't treat you badly; but if you insist on playing tricks, don't blame me for turning heartless."

Zhou Liangan's voice was very calm, yet it carried a daunting pressure that made Yong Ruxin's heart tremble slightly.

Yong Ruxin stared at him fixedly for a few seconds, then suddenly couldn't help but chuckle. The laughter was crisp and pleasant, carrying a hint of charm, "My dear~ Don't worry~ I am an heir of the Yong Family after all. I can tell what is important and what isn't~"

As she spoke, Yong Ruxin leaned forward slightly, revealing a flash of snow-white at her neckline, her beautiful, watery eyes full of allure.

Seeing this, Zhou Liangan reached out and pinched Yong Ruxin's snow-white, delicate chin, his fingertips applying slight pressure. Looking into her eyes, he said word by word, "That's a good girl. Also, regarding the Nangong Ruins, even if you have a way to enter, you won't gain anything. There is something inside that even I can't handle; it is an extremely terrifying existence, so you had better not set your sights on the ruins."

Zhou Liangan noticed the hint of disappointment in Yong Ruxin's eyes. After pondering for a moment, he said slowly, "As for the Bottleneck you encountered while Cultivating, if you can help me find Liang Zichen's whereabouts, I can help you achieve a Breakthrough."

Yong Ruxin's eyes instantly lit up, a hint of surprise and craftiness appearing in her beautiful eyes, "Oh? Hubby, you say that, yet you claim you didn't gain anything in the Nangong Ruins?"

Yong Ruxin didn't believe for a second that Zhou Liangan had gained nothing in the ruins.

Every single event represented that Zhou Liangan had made a fortune in the Nangong Family's ruins.

Zhou Liangan chuckled, "I really didn't gain any benefits."

Zhou Liangan added silently in his heart: Nothing more than grabbing some tables and chairs, hundreds of Cultivation Techniques, and a few treasures.

But he naturally wouldn't tell Yong Ruxin these things.

Yong Ruxin pouted, clearly not believing Zhou Liangan's nonsense, but she didn't press for more.

Changing the subject, she reached out and took Zhou Liangan's arm, her voice sweet and cloying, "The Spiritual Artifacts you were supposed to hand over that we agreed upon earlier, shouldn't you take them out for me now, Hubby?"

Hearing this, Zhou Liangan was speechless.

This woman was truly realistic. Even though they already knew each other's secrets, she was still fixated on those two Heaven Rank Spiritual Artifacts.

He shook his head helplessly and waved his hand. Two flashes of spiritual light passed, and two seemingly ordinary teacups appeared on the table.

Yong Ruxin's eyes, however, widened instantly, and her breathing became a bit rapid.

She could tell at a glance that these two teacups were not simple—the cup bodies were flowing with faint spiritual light, and the Spiritual Qi was overwhelming. They were clearly a set of Heaven Rank Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts!

Heaven Rank Spiritual Artifacts!

In the entire Dragon Kingdom, the number of Families that could produce Heaven Rank Spiritual Artifacts could be counted on one hand, let alone a set!

It seemed that her future husband had quite a lot of private savings hidden away.

Yong Ruxin's mood instantly improved. She stretched out her flawless, jade-like arms, hooked them around Zhou Liangan's neck, pressed her body tightly against him, and whispered, "Husband~ What other good things do you have~ Take them out and let me see~"

Yong Ruxin's voice was seductive to the bone, full of temptation, making Zhou Liangan's heart stir slightly.

Zhou Liangan smiled and turned his head, his lips almost touching Yong Ruxin's ear, his voice low and hoarse, "Want to see? That's easy."

The warm breath brushed against her ear, making Yong Ruxin's body tremble slightly, and a flush of crimson instantly climbed onto her jade-like, delicate cheeks.

She looked up and gave Zhou Liangan an alluring roll of her eyes, coquettishly scolding, "Bad man~ Stop talking nonsense~"

Her eyes were like silk, carrying a bit of shyness and a bit of reproach, which made Zhou Liangan's heart heat up again.

Zhou Liangan shrugged with an innocent face, "I don't think I said anything, did I?"

The flush on Yong Ruxin's face deepened. She gave Zhou Liangan an annoyed roll of her eyes, broke free from his embrace, straightened her slightly messy skirt, and a hint of gravity flashed in her eyes, "Alright, enough fooling around. People have arrived from the Provincial Capital."

Zhou Liangan raised an eyebrow, "People from the Provincial Capital? What are they here for?"

"What else could they be here for? Nothing more than the Nangong Family's ruins." As Yong Ruxin spoke, she reached out and gently stroked Zhou Liangan's cheek, her gaze becoming more serious, "Don't act like marrying me is such a huge loss for you. Right now, all the major families are eyeing the Nangong Ruins, watching like tigers. Without me helping you maneuver, these people would annoy you to death."

Looking at Yong Ruxin's seductively beautiful face and her beautiful, shimmering eyes, Zhou Liangan smirked playfully, "So, in that case, I should properly thank my wife?"

As he spoke, Zhou Liangan reached out to wrap his arm around Yong Ruxin's waist, his fingers gently caressing her delicate skin, "It's still early, and the people from the Provincial Capital won't be here for a while anyway. Why don't we... continue to Cultivate?"

Hearing this, Yong Ruxin's delicate body trembled involuntarily, and the images of their previous Cultivation sessions flashed through her mind.

Yong Ruxin hurriedly broke free from Zhou Liangan's embrace, waving her hands repeatedly, "No, no! People have been sent from above, and I have to go clean up after you, you little rascal, so you don't get targeted by those old fogies."

As she spoke, Yong Ruxin picked up her coat from the sofa and turned to leave.

When she reached the door, Yong Ruxin stopped, looked back at Zhou Liangan, and a charming smile curled at the corner of her mouth, "Remember, the proposal is next week. No backing out!"

After saying this, Yong Ruxin walked away in her high heels, swaying gracefully.

Zhou Liangan watched Yong Ruxin's retreating figure and shook his head helplessly.

This woman, Yong Ruxin, was mature, sensible, knew how to advance and retreat, and possessed just the right amount of charm. With the backing of the Yong Family in the capital, marrying her was indeed a good choice.

However, one point was very important—this matter must absolutely not get out.

He still had to maintain his single persona.

After all, he had more than just Yong Ruxin by his side.

Zhou Liangan sat on the sofa, pondered for a moment, and decided to tell his mother about this.

He got up, left the villa, and drove to where Su Wanyun lived.

Su Wanyun's villa was located in the wealthy district of Jiangcheng, with a quiet environment and lush trees. As soon as Zhou Liangan walked to the door, he saw a servant open it and say with a smile, "Young Master, Madam is inside practicing yoga."

Zhou Liangan nodded and walked in.

In the living room, Su Wanyun was wearing a light gray yoga outfit, doing stretching exercises on a yoga mat.

The yoga outfit outlined her exquisite figure.

Hearing footsteps, Su Wanyun turned her head and saw Zhou Liangan. A gentle smile blossomed on her face. She paused what she was doing, stood up, and walked over. "An'an is here? Have you had breakfast yet? Would you like to join Mom for a bite?"

Su Wanyun's voice was as gentle as water.

Zhou Liangan nodded. "Not yet, I'll join you."

Su Wanyun smiled and turned to look at the maid not far away, instructing, "Prepare a breakfast for my son as well."

The maid nodded slightly and turned to walk into the kitchen.

Soon, two exquisite breakfasts were served.

The mother and son sat at the dining table, eating slowly.

Zhou Liangan hesitated for a moment, then put down his knife and fork, saying, "Mom, there's something I want to tell you."

Su Wanyun looked up at Zhou Liangan, wiped the corner of her mouth, and said, "What is it? Go ahead."

"Yong Ruxin and I have discussed the marriage alliance. By next week at the latest, the Zhou Family will send someone to the capital to propose," Zhou Liangan said, enunciating each word.

Upon hearing this, Su Wanyun's hand holding the milk cup paused slightly. The smile on her face faded instantly, replaced by a hint of displeasure.

She put down the cup and frowned slightly. "That woman from the Yong Family? She's already thirty-five, not much younger than me, and they actually want you to marry her! That is simply too much!"

In Su Wanyun's eyes, Yong Ruxin was too old and unworthy of her precious son. Zhou Liangan was only nineteen, in the prime of his youth; couldn't he find any young girl he wanted?

Why marry a woman so much older than him?

Zhou Liangan looked up at her helplessly and coughed lightly. "Ahem, Mom, there's no helping it. All parties are eyeing the Nangong Ruins. If we reject Yong Ruxin now, the Zhou Family will be in a very passive position, and it will cause a lot of trouble."

Marriage alliances are for profit and for the development of the Zhou Family; this is a choice made after weighing the pros and cons.

Su Wanyun bit her thin lips with her pearly white teeth. She was silent for a few seconds before looking up, her beautiful eyes fixed on Zhou Liangan. Her voice was faint, "An'an, tell Mom honestly, do you really like that woman?"

Zhou Liangan smiled. "Mom, don't you understand? In our circle, whether one likes someone or not has never been the most important thing. What matters is profit and the development of the Family."

Su Wanyun sighed, her eyes dimming slightly. "Sigh! If you tell that bastard, the Zhou Family Head, about this news, he will surely jump for joy."

Zhou Liangan smiled and looked at Su Wanyun seriously. "Mom, then what do you think about me marrying into the Yong Family?"

Su Wanyun rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, picked up her chopsticks, threw them heavily to the side, and stood up. Her tone was petulant. "Children grow up and don't stay; if you want to marry her, go ahead. It's none of my business!"

After saying this, Su Wanyun turned and walked upstairs, her steps somewhat hurried, her back revealing a hint of loneliness.

Zhou Liangan watched Su Wanyun's back and shook his head helplessly.

He didn't understand why his mother had such a strong reaction.

Zhou Liangan did not chase after her but stood up and left the villa.

As soon as he sat in the car, his phone rang with an urgent ringtone.

Zhou Liangan picked up the phone, glanced at the caller ID, and a playful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

He pressed the answer button. From the other end of the line came a sultry, charming voice, sweet enough to be cloying. "Young Master Zhou~ Do you have time now?"

Hearing Director Xin Linyu's bone-chillingly charming voice, Zhou Liangan couldn't help but feel distracted. He leaned back in his seat and chuckled, "Whether I have time depends on what you want from me."

Director Xin Linyu chuckled on the other end, her voice as soft as cotton candy, full of temptation. "I've recently bought a few new outfits. Young Master Zhou, are you interested in coming over to help me appreciate them?"

New outfits?

Zhou Liangan raised an eyebrow. Director Xin Linyu's hot figure flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel distracted. He curled his lips. "Oh? New outfits? What style?"

"It's a secret~" Director Xin Linyu said coquettishly, her tone mysterious. "I guarantee you won't be disappointed, Young Master Zhou."

Zhou Liangan smiled and said without hesitation, "Alright, send me the location, I'll be there soon."

"Alright~ Young Master Zhou~ I'll be waiting for you at home~" Director Xin Linyu's voice was cloyingly sweet. After saying this, she hung up the phone.

Not long after, a text message arrived with Director Xin Linyu's address.

Director Xin Linyu lived in a high-end apartment in Jiangcheng, a large, flat-floor unit with a first-line river view, which was quite expensive.

Zhou Liangan drove quickly and soon arrived downstairs.

He parked the car and took the elevator straight to the top floor.

Standing at the door, Zhou Liangan rang the doorbell.

Within a few seconds, the door opened.

Director Xin Linyu stood behind the door, wearing a silk nightgown. The hem of the skirt barely covered her thighs, revealing a pair of fair, slender, beautiful legs.

She wore exquisite makeup, and her peach-blossom eyes were watery. Seeing Zhou Liangan, a charming arc immediately curled at the corners of her mouth.

Director Xin Linyu extended her jade-like arms, hooking them around Zhou Liangan's neck, her body pressing tightly against him. Her voice carried a hint of resentment. "Young Master Zhou~ You really are a busy man~ Since we parted at the hospital last time~ how long has it been since you came to see me~"

Director Xin Linyu's scent carried a faint perfume, mixed with a woman's unique fragrance, lingering at Zhou Liangan's nose, making his heart flutter slightly.

Zhou Liangan smiled, reached out his large hand to wrap around Director Xin Linyu's slender yet voluptuous willow waist, his fingers gently stroking her smooth skin. A playful look appeared on his face. "What? Did you miss me?"

"Of course I did~ I missed you so much I couldn't eat or drink~" Director Xin Linyu said coquettishly.

As she said this, Director Xin Linyu stood on tiptoe and pecked Zhou Liangan on the cheek.

"What about the new outfits you promised? I can't wait, I want to see what they look like," Zhou Liangan said with a smile.

His gaze landed on Director Xin Linyu, burning with heat.

Director Xin Linyu noticed Zhou Liangan's gaze and a cunning smile appeared on her face. She let go of him and turned to walk toward the walk-in closet, saying as she walked, "Wait a moment, Young Master Zhou, I'll go change now, I guarantee it will be a sight to behold!"

Director Xin Linyu's back swayed gracefully, making Zhou Liangan feel distracted.

He leaned back on the sofa, picked up the red wine on the table, poured a glass, and sipped it slowly.

Time passed minute by minute. After about ten minutes, the door to the walk-in closet opened.

Zhou Liangan looked up and was instantly stunned.

Director Xin Linyu was wearing a nurse's outfit, a white short skirt that revealed a pair of long, round, beautiful legs.

Her round, beautiful legs were wrapped in white lace-trimmed suspender stockings, and the lace at the top of the stockings was exquisite, making her skin look as white as jade.

Her fair, delicate legs were stepped into a pair of white patent leather pointed-toe high heels with bright red heels. The red-bottomed stilettos made her legs look even more slender and tall.

Her hair was tied into a bun, she wore light makeup, her lips were painted with vibrant lipstick, her eyes were charming, and she walked toward Zhou Liangan with a bewitching gait and a beaming smile.

When she reached Zhou Liangan, Director Xin Linyu leaned over slightly. Her voice was coquettish, full of temptation. "Young Master Zhou~ Does this outfit look good?"

Zhou Liangan looked at Director Xin Linyu, his Adam's apple bobbing. He put down the wine glass, reached out, grabbed Director Xin Linyu's wrist, and pulled her into his arms with a gentle tug.

Zhou Liangan lowered his head, his lips almost touching Director Xin Linyu's ear, his voice low and hoarse. "Whether the outfit looks good or not is not important. What's important is that the person wearing the outfit looks good."

Director Xin Linyu's cheeks turned bright red instantly. She looked up, her watery eyes fixed on Zhou Liangan, a charming smile curling at the corners of her mouth. "Then... does Young Master Zhou think that, wearing this outfit, I am qualified to stay by your side?"

Zhou Liangan looked at Director Xin Linyu's affectionate eyes and her luscious red lips, and the fire in his heart was instantly ignited.

He reached out and pinched Director Xin Linyu's chin, his gaze scorching. "Qualified? Of course. However..."

Zhou Liangan paused deliberately, watching Director Xin Linyu's nervous eyes, the smile on his lips deepening. "It depends on whether you are obedient enough."

Upon hearing this, Director Xin Linyu's face showed joy. She proactively hugged Zhou Liangan's neck, her red lips approaching his ear, breathing like an orchid. "I... will definitely be obedient..."

Director Xin Linyu's beautiful eyes were seductive, her watery pupils appearing to hold a pool of spring water. As her gaze shifted, it was full of soul-stirring charm.

She tilted her head slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering gently, her red lips pursed slightly, carrying just the right amount of coyness and temptation, making Zhou Liangan's heart burn with heat.

Zhou Liangan couldn't help but curse "Vixen" in his heart.

This woman was born with an appearance that could topple nations, especially now, wearing this nurse's outfit, paired with those long, straight, beautiful legs and red-bottomed stilettos, she was bone-chillingly charming.

However, Zhou Liangan knew clearly that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Director Xin Linyu hadn't looked for him for so long, but chose this critical moment to approach him; there must be more to it than meets the eye.

Either she had heard some rumors about the Nangong Ruins and wanted to get some benefits from him, or she had other motives and wanted to climb up by using his influence.

Zhou Liangan's eyes gradually darkened, his hand movements stopped, his brows furrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

Director Xin Linyu keenly sensed the change in Zhou Liangan. A flash of imperceptible panic flickered in the depths of her eyes, which was immediately replaced by seductiveness.

She extended her fair, slender hand, her fingertips carrying a cool touch, gently brushing across Zhou Liangan's cheek, her fingertips lightly stroking his jawline, her voice so soft it could drip water. "Since you like it, Young Master Zhou, why are you still hesitating?~"

Before she finished speaking, without waiting for Zhou Liangan to respond, Director Xin Linyu leaned in proactively, her pair of soft, delicate, fragrant lips precisely kissing Zhou Liangan...
