Her wordsyered with the burden of her conflicting emotions.


    She could feel his hands against her waist, but the sensation felt foreign—like she was experiencing it for the first time, even though this wasn''t their first time.


    The more he touched her, the more confused she became.


    Wang Xiao''s smile widened, his predatory gaze fixed on her.


    Normally, he would have teased and toyed with her, like he always did. But tonight, he had already let one of his "prey" go, and he wasn''t in the mood to let another escape so easily.


    With a wave of his hand, he signaled for Mary, who had been quietly working for half an hour, to leave. Her jaw tightened as she stood, her body stiff from the effort she had exerted. But just as she was about to leave, Wang Xiao stopped her.


    "Take this," he said, tossing a scroll toward her. "It''ll help you build your Immortal Soul Core. Also, from now on, don''t report anything to me about Wenxi and Yue unless it''s absolutely necessary. You''ll be working solely for them from now on."


    Mary was taken aback, staring at him in disbelief.


    She hadn''t expected such a development. Her hands trembled as she caught the scroll, the weight of his words slowly sinking in. "Thank you..." she whispered, her voice uncertain, still processing the sudden shift.


    After a brief pause, Mary turned and left the room, the tension in the air dissipating slightly as she exited.


    Wang Mei watched her go, her eyes narrowing.


    ''So, that was the same woman who had been guarding the two girls in Icevale...''


    Wang Xiao had two daughters, and this woman had been their protector.


    Her thoughts spiraled.


    ''Does that mean those two girls are indeed his daughters?'' The more she thought about it, the more her heart pounded in her chest.


    Her face flushed hot with embarrassment as the pieces of the puzzle slowly fell into ce.


    ''All this time... they were my nieces...'' The realization made her feel a strange mix of emotions—confusion, disbelief, and something else she couldn''t quite ce.


    Wang Xiao, sensing her distraction, tightened his grip on her waist slightly, pulling her back into the present.


    Wang Xiao''s voice was soft but teasing, "I could handle Xueying, but if you can''t control your voice, mother will know…"


    The words made Wang Mei stiffen, her face flushing a deep red.


    She clenched her fists, but Wang Xiao caught them, pinning her hands gently against the bed. His eyes locked onto hers before he leaned in, iming her lips in a deep kiss. Slowly, deliberately, he began undressing her as heid her down on the bed.


    "You''re on top today," he whispered, a mischievous smile on his lips. He flipped them over, pulling her atop him before plunging deep into her, making her groan in a mix of pleasure and difort.


    Her hands flew to her mouth, stifling any sound that might betray them.


    Wang Mei''s face soon became drenched in sweat, her body trembling from the effort.


    Thirty minutes passed, and she held on longer than Wang Xiao had expected. But when she finally began to falter, he took control, shifting their positions once more, driving into her with rhythm.


    For two hours, the bed groaned beneath them, its remarkable strength holding steady despite the pace.


    When she finally fainted, copsing against his chest, Wang Xiao turned on the air conditioner, cooling the room that had be stifling from their heated bodies.


    Even in the cold weather outside, the air inside was thick with warmth. He grabbed her limp hand and ced it over his still-hard manhood, a smirk crossing his lips as he whispered, "Just keep it there... It''s easier to sleep this way."


    Wang Mei, too exhausted to care, rolled her eyes but didn''t resist, her consciousness slipping as darkness imed her vision.


    ''I told him so many times I have to be up early... why doesn''t he ever listen?''


    Her thoughts drifted as shey against him, her mind shing to the morning ahead.


    She''d begged him to finish quicker, knowing she had sses in just a few hours. But as always, Wang Xiao pushed her past her limits.


    Wang Xiao gazed at her peaceful, flushed face, her body still sticking to his. He reached out and brushed her hair away, which had clung to her damp skin.


    She looked so fragile in her sleep, but the sight of her face stirred something inside him. Leaning down, he bit her shoulder gently, eliciting a sleepy groan from Wang Mei.


    "Bother… let me sleep… I really have sses tomorrow…" she mumbled, her voiceced with fatigue.


    Wang Xiao chuckled, his fingers tracing the curve of her waist. "Then what about after sses?"


    Her eyes fluttered open briefly, a gasp escaping her lips as she blushed. "It''ll be evening..." she said, exhaling in annoyance.


    Wang Xiaoughed softly, teasing, "Idiot... If you can eat three times a day, why worry about doing other things three times a day?" His words made Wang Mei purse her lips, flustered at his constant provocations.


    ''He''s just too much of a pervert,'' she thought, feeling a mix of frustration and resignation.


    More than that, she worried about how her legs would feel by morning. If they wobbled, she''d be aughing stock at university in her very first month. And the thought of making an embarrassing trip to the pharmacy for preventive drugs in the morning made her groan inwardly.


    All because of him!


    Herints echoed in her mind, but despite it all, she fell into a peaceful sleep, her body finally surrendering to exhaustion.


    When morning came, the light barely seeping through the curtains, Wang Mei woke with a start. It was still early, just past 6 a.m., and she hurried to gather herself.


    I need to leave before he starts again...


    But just as she thought she could slip away, Wang Xiao''s hand gripped her wrist once more, pulling her back into the bed.


    "Where do you think you''re going?" he teased, his morning wood pressing against her. Reluctantly, she dealt with him once more, her protests swallowed by her need to leave quickly.


    After brushing her teeth in his bathroom, Wang Mei stared at herself in the mirror, annoyed beyond words.


    She examined her teeth carefully for any trace of residue, silently fuming at the state of things.


    Her eyes then caught the faint bloodstains on Wang Xiao''s discarded clothes inundry bucket, and her frown deepened.


    She wasn''t sure but grabbed the clothes anyway, taking them with her tounder in her own room.


    As she finally slipped out of his room, she realized with a sigh that she was likely the first person awake in the entire house.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    It wasn''t even 6:30 a.m. yet, and the house was still dark and silent.


    Wang Xiao watched her leave, his expression softening. "This girl... if she keeps overexerting herself, she might really copse on road one day like some drunkard...." Despite his teasing, there was a hint of worry in his eyes as hey back in the bed, the faint scent of her lingering in the air.
