Chapter 455: Chapter 235 Acquaintance_2

Li Nanshuang was somewhat spellbound as she watched.

Although she really didn’t like the woman in front of her, she had to admit, Ran Qingchen looked incredibly beautiful at that moment.

Just like a fairy.

Subconsciously, she lowered her head and took a sip.

The teasing Ran Qingchen suddenly stiffened, then her bright eyes widened unbelievably as she stared at the other person, completely baffled and incredulous.

"You... you..."

Ran Qingchen was too shocked to speak, her face turning red with both embarrassment and anger.

She instinctively covered the area below her neck.

"I... I was just joking."

Li Nanshuang scratched her head somewhat sheepishly, chuckling awkwardly.

"What’s wrong with a little joke?"

Seeing that the other was still shocked, Li Nanshuang’s slightly pouted lips conveyed a sense of naive innocence. She then hesitantly held up her cup of milk tea, muttering, "How about... you take a sip too?"

"In your dreams!"

Ran Qingchen pushed her into the water.

——

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t know what had happened between the two, but seeing Ran Qingchen’s frustrated and flustered look, he guessed she must have been bullied.

Finding it troublesome, he simply washed up in the same bath bucket the two women had used, then went to bed.

"Ran Qingchen, you sleep on the inside, I’ll sleep in the middle!"

Hostess Li Nanshuang commanded decisively, "Let this woman sleep on the outside."

"Why should I? If anyone should sleep on the outside, it should be you!"

Ran Qingchen crossed her arms in front of her chest.

Because of the bath she’d had, the bandages she usually wrapped around her chest weren’t tied, making her already large bosom appear even more majestic.

But no sooner had she spoken than Li Nanshuang dived onto the bed.

The young girl kicked off her shoes and, completely lacking grace, sprawled starfish-style across the bed, staking claim to the middle and inside positions and leaving only a little space for Ran Qingchen.

"Jiang Mo, go to the inn!"

Ran Qingchen pulled out her trump card.

Li Nanshuang jumped up at once, grabbing Jiang Shouzhong’s arm: "Ran Qingchen, you’re under my command, you have to listen to me!"

The headache-ridden Jiang Shouzhong said helplessly, "How about I sleep in the middle?"

Both women paused, exchanging glances without speaking; clearly, this was the most fair arrangement.

"Then... then I’ll take the inside."

Li Nanshuang knew she didn’t sleep calmly, and given the bed was quite small, she might roll off with just a turn.

"Okay."

Jiang Shouzhong smiled and nodded.

Ran Qingchen couldn’t say much else, seeing the other two making themselves comfortable in bed. She awkwardly lay down on the outside.

The bed really wasn’t big.

The three of them were almost squeezed together.

Although they were clothed, the warmth transmitted between their skins was distinctly palpable.

As her emotions settled, Ran Qingchen began to regain her senses, regretting having ended up sleeping in the same bed as a man.

She felt like she was out of her mind to insist on staying in the same room.

Had it been her previous self, she might not even dare to dream of such an outrageous scenario.

But remembering the charge of her sworn sister Hong’er, and the fact that she and Jiang Mo were already husband and wife, the weird feeling in her heart slowly evaporated.

Ran Qingchen, oh Ran Qingchen, it’s just a matter of time.

Better get used to it early.

"Silly Mugua, you are really too fat, almost squishing me and Ran Qingchen to death."

Li Nanshuang started to complain.

Am I fat?

Deep in thought, Ran Qingchen couldn’t help scoffing: "Look at your waist, your legs, are they any thinner than mine?"

"But you have two huge fat mugua." Li Nanshuang bluntly stated.

Ran Qingchen clenched her fist, ready to retort, but remembering there was a man right beside her, she refrained and turned her body sideways, making some space.

Yet as Ran Qingchen faced away from the other two, listening to the rustling sound of clothes behind her, her mind began to wander into chaos again.

Could it be that Li Nanshuang was having her turn her back so that she could sneakily do things with Jiang Mo?

No way!

He had to keep an eye on them personally.

Ran Qingchen turned over and slept facing Jiang Shouzhong.

Gazing at the familiar face of the man before her, Ran Qingchen’s pretty face blushed slightly and she gently bit her lower lip, her heartbeat inexplicably quickening.

Would she be able to watch him like this for a lifetime once they truly became husband and wife?

Jiang Shouzhong lay flat, and although there were two beauties by his side, he didn’t entertain many romantic thoughts but kept replaying and filtering clue information in his mind, hoping to uncover some overlooked details.

The candlelight in the room remained lit.

All three silently agreed not to blow it out.

After a while, noticing that Ran Qingchen had not fallen asleep, he turned his head and saw she was staring at him, seemingly in a daze.

Under the flickering light, the woman’s cheeks were as smooth as water and delicate as grease, with a high nose and a chin that seemed carved from white jade, so translucent it seemed to radiate an ethereal charm.

Just as Jiang Shouzhong was about to speak, Ran Qingchen closed her eyes.

She closed them forcefully, her eyelashes quivering, as if fearing others wouldn’t know she had fallen asleep.

Jiang Shouzhong laughed softly but did not expose her.

Meanwhile, the carefree Li Nanshuang had already fallen asleep, her sleeping position still stable for now.

Perhaps to avoid crowding Jiang Shouzhong, the young girl also slept on her side, her warm breath continuously spraying onto the man’s neck.

Gazing at the two women, Jiang Shouzhong felt somewhat dazed.

He had once dearly hoped that there would be two women sleeping by his side.

But he had hoped they would be Hong’er and Ye.

Now, things and people had changed; there were two new girls by his side.

Jiang Shouzhong sighed silently and closed his eyes.

After the man fell asleep, Ran Qingchen slowly opened her eyes, watched the man for a while, and finally drifted off to sleep as well.

...

The next day, at dawn,

Jiang Shouzhong woke up feeling something heavy pressing on half of his body.

Indeed, it was the restless sleeper Li Nanshuang again.

The young girl was almost sprawled over his chest, one leg draped over his, with half her face pressed against his chest deformed.

On the other side of his body, there was also a pressure.

It was Ran Qingchen, almost clinging to him, her proud, large breasts now flattened like pancakes, peeping out from beneath her clothes as he looked down.

Worried that Li Nanshuang’s sleeping posture would be mocked by Ran Qingchen and the two might start quarreling, Jiang Shouzhong hesitated for a while before simply getting up, startling both women awake.

"What’s up?"

Li Nanshuang, still groggy, propped up on her elbows, yawned, and asked.

Her long ponytail, messed up from sleeping, splayed across her face, adding a lazy beauty to her features.

Ran Qingchen glanced at Li Nanshuang, looked toward the dim light outside, and got up saying, "It’s dawn."

"Ah, it’s light already?"

Li Nanshuang sobered up a bit, her face showing surprise, then quickly scrunched up.

Previously, she hadn’t felt tired or sleepy while searching for Jiang Mo without sleep for several nights, but now that Jiang Mo was by her side, she felt unbearably sleepy.

"Why don’t you keep sleeping, and I’ll go investigate the case with Jiang Mo."

Ran Qingchen would have loved for this girl to sleep all day.

Li Nanshuang forced herself to wake up, rubbed her messy hair, and retorted, "Silly Mugua, showing your true colors now, huh? Dream on if you think you can steal my noodles!"

"Idiot."

Ran Qingchen rolled her eyes.

After washing up, the trio disguised themselves again and casually grabbed some breakfast, then headed to Jinse Pavilion.

As a brothel, business hours were typically in the evening.

However, places like Jinse Pavilion, where artistry and companionship were clearly distinguished from the flesh trade, were busy during the day with activities like hand-talks with guests, tea drinking, poetry writing, painting, and playing instruments, ensuring it wasn’t entirely quiet during business hours.

With a separate pavilion built just for this, many guests from Qingzhou enjoyed visiting here.

Some customers also brought their female companions along.

So, when Jiang Shouzhong entered Jinse Pavilion with the two women, he didn’t attract any particular attention.

Along the way, Jiang Shouzhong heard many guests discussing a woman named Liu Wuxu, praised for her unparalleled talents and likened to a fairy reincarnated, mentioning that she was selecting a favoured guest to be treated as a special guest soon.

Jiang Shouzhong didn’t pay much attention.

After all, in a place of entertainment, if not discussing women, then what about men?

Jiang Shouzhong also caught the scent of what Cheng referred to as the "Soul-enticing Fragrance."

Initially, the fragrance was pungent, but it quickly turned into a mild and pleasant aroma that lingered, indeed distinct from common scents on the market.

There, Jiang Shouzhong encountered a familiar face.
