A dragonfly touches the water lightly, parting as soon as it connects.

Xia Zhiqing's cheeks were already flushed red, like the morning glow, bright and captivating. Her heart was pounding chaotically, that was her first kiss, the feeling left her mind in turmoil.

Xia Zhining saw this scene and inexplicably clenched her hand tighter.

Chen Mo furrowed his brows slightly, pulled Xia Zhiqing into his arms by her waist, pinched her chin with two fingers, and said, "I didn't expect a poem to make Zhiqing fall for me."

Xia Zhiqing's delicate body trembled as if electrocuted, a tingling spread through her. Thinking that since she had already made up her mind, she shouldn't hesitate anymore, she said nothing but wrapped her arms around Chen Mo's neck, leaning towards those slightly cold lips once more.

Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a trace of delight in his heart. This feeling of initiative and passivity was totally different.

With one hand holding the waist of the stunning beauty, and the other supporting her fragrant shoulder, Chen Mo took the initiative, capturing those luscious, full lips and savoring the sweetness.

Xia Zhiqing's cheeks were burning, her eyes wide open, experiencing the fierce and aggressive breath, she felt like she was floating, her thoughts scattered who knows where.

"No... don't..." A cry of surprise escaped as the two found themselves unknowingly on the bed, sensing the boy's hand untying her belt, Xia Zhiqing spoke up from her heart.

Chen Mo stroked Xia Zhiqing's cheek, brushing her hair behind her ear, and said softly, "Do you regret it?"

Regret was certainly present.

Xia Zhiqing's heart wasn't willing to proceed, but thinking that her first kiss was already gone, she had taken a step, not continuing would render it all futile.

"No, I... just ask you not to be so... rough." With that, Xia Zhiqing closed her eyes, thinking of it as being bitten by a dog, eager for it to end quickly.

"Don't worry, how could I bear to be rough with you, I will be very gentle," Chen Mo kissed her lips tenderly, skillfully removing the ties, pulling down the white gauze dress from her shoulders, revealing her snow-white fragrant shoulders and collarbones, and that half-moon curve.

Xia Zhining watched from not far away, biting her silver teeth, cursing this bastard in her heart.

In the past, with her, there wasn't the slightest bit of affection, lifting the...

Yet with her sister, he held her in his palm, unwilling to cause any harm.

She originally wanted to stop it, not wanting her sister to lose her innocence, but at this moment, she couldn't help wishing this bastard would hurry up.

Chen Mo kissed along Xia Zhiqing's lips, neck, and fragrant shoulders...

...

Xia Zhining's palm clenched even tighter, watching her sacrificing sister, holding her breath, waiting for the best moment to strike.

After a while, Chen Mo looked down at the blood-red cheeks, eyes moistened with desire Xia Zhiqing, raised his hand to caress her cheek, and whispered, "You still have a chance, are you really not regretting it?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiqing's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, a thought arose that this boy wasn't that bad.

With her sister, it was really just revenge, but for the one he liked, he was actually quite gentle.

Should I not trick him like this?

"What's wrong, got something on your mind?" Seeing a trace of melancholy on her brow, he said softly.

Xia Zhiqing shook her head slightly and said, "Come on, I'm ready."

Chen Mo kissed Xia Zhiqing's forehead and then said, "Then let me serve you."

With that, he took off the embroidered shoes on Xia Zhiqing's feet, removed the silk socks.

Feeling the boy's fiery gaze on her jade feet, her face blushed crimson, cheeks burning as if on fire.

The next second, she felt her small foot grasped firmly.

"No… no..." Xia Zhiqing sat up trying to pull her foot back, as to a woman, the significance of small feet was very important.

But the boy held tightly, pushing her to lie back down.

Chen Mo looked at the pristine white ankle like a crystal, the ten jade toes like tender bamboo shoots, the jade feet of a noblewoman were indeed more beautiful than the sister-in-law's, with crimson rouge lacquered nails.

Seeing the scorching gaze not leaving her foot, but feeling a warm touch on her instep, a glance revealed her cheeks turning crimson.

"Oh my, he... he actually kissed..."

Xia Zhiqing grabbed a nearby pillow to cover her face.

This is simply too... too...

For Xia Zhiqing, who had studied the scriptures and knew nothing of such indecent acts, it was just incredible.

At the same time, an indescribable strangeness arose in her heart.

"He... he actually likes me so much, otherwise how could he... ah, how embarrassing..." Xia Zhiqing's face burned hot, you could fry an egg on it.

Xia Zhining watching was also bewildered, a strong sense of resentment surged in her heart.

She and her sister looked not much different, so why...

An acidic feeling crept into her heart.

This frightened her.

...

In the room, with dim lights, on a soft couch made of pear wood, Chen Mo turned to Xia Zhining and said, "Come here, help your sister with her clothes, and be careful not to hurt her."

Xia Zhining: "..."

He treated her like a servant.

"What are you doing in a daze? Your sister replaced you, and you don't want to help with clothes?" Chen Mo said.

Xia Zhining slowly stepped forward.

"No." Xia Zhiqing struggled.

Her elder sister doing such a shameful thing, having her sister help with clothes, it was too embarrassing.

"If Zhiqing doesn't want it, then forget it." Chen Mo stopped Xia Zhining.

Hearing this, Xia Zhining couldn't wait to act now.

"Help me take off my clothes," Chen Mo ordered again, his tone commanding and indisputable.

Zhi Ning heard the words, her eyes like lustrous water showing anger, but she bit her lip and endured it.

Success was imminent, failure was not an option now.

Zhi Ning obediently complied.

Chen Mo relaxed his brow, "That's right, admitting a mistake requires an attitude of acknowledgment. After this, I will consider expanding your activity space."

"Alright, just stand by the side for now. Maybe I'll need your help later."

Zhi Ning: "..."

She endured again.

The closer she was, the higher the chance of success.

Chen Mo looked warmly at Xia Zhiqing and said, "Zhiqing, you can move freely in the city from now on."

"Actually, Zhi Ning she..."

Xia Zhiqing was interrupted by Chen Mo, "Be good, let's not talk about her anymore."

The two of them gently embraced.

"My lord, don't... the soles of my feet are a bit ticklish."

Suddenly, a soft, charming voice sounded.

The night was dim, clouds covered the bright moon, and suddenly a summer wind blew, shaking the branches outside the courtyard, slapping against the window sill.

...

The night deepened, it was unclear how much time had passed.

Suddenly, Xia Zhiqing embraced Chen Mo, wrapped her arms around his neck, and softly called "Husband" in his ear.

As the word "husband" sounded, Zhi Ning knew the opportunity had come. She lightly flipped her palm, and a dagger appeared in her hand from who knows where.

Without a moment's hesitation, Zhi Ning thrust forward, the dagger carrying a chilling murderous intent aimed straight at Chen Mo's head.

This dagger was crafted by a smith with over thirty years of experience. Though it was no divine weapon, it could cut through iron like mud.

With a clang.

The dagger stopped just an inch from Chen Mo's head. A layer of hazy purple qi, like a light curtain, blocked the dagger. In the next moment, a surge of force hit her like a tide, knocking her away, and she crashed heavily to the ground.

The dagger slipped from her hand and stuck into a desk, the handle still trembling slightly.

"Failed..."

Zhi Ning couldn't even feel the pain of falling to the ground, all she had was a wry smile. She looked at the purple qi surrounding the young man, her face turning pale.

How could it fail?

In such a situation, how could he still mobilize his Innate True Qi?

She wasn't unfamiliar with that sensation, drifting like her mind was elsewhere, her spirit already soaring beyond the heavens, not even thinking of anything else, much less guarding against an attack from behind.

"Did I fail again..."

Xia Zhiqing glanced at her sister, who had been thrown to the ground, closed her eyes, and two teardrops fell silently from her waist, not knowing if it was relief or sorrow.

So it was as expected.

Chen Mo sighed and withdrew.

He never really believed in Xia Zhiqing either.

After all, as a prisoner, how could one love someone who bullied their sister within a few days? It would take...

He couldn't even describe it.

In any case, he anticipated this trap and personally risked it, keeping a part of his mind on guard against Zhi Ning.

The outcome was as he predicted.

Chen Mo inwardly sneered.

He knew the sisters must be in cahoots, but he deliberately didn't blame Xia Zhiqing, wiping away her tears gently, and said softly, "Did your sister force you to do this?"

Xia Zhiqing said nothing.

Chen Mo was adamant, "It must have been your sister who forced you, that treacherous woman, you treated her so well, yet she did this to you."

"Don't say it, I did it willingly, don't blame Zhi Ning." Xia Zhiqing listened to the gentle words in her ear, only feeling a sour ache in her heart, her nose tingling, eyes welling with tears, silently flowing down uncontrollably.

"You're still defending her, and yet you're crying like this too, it's my fault after all, for not seeing it sooner, letting you..." Chen Mo tenderly caressed Xia Zhiqing's face, "Don't worry, I'll avenge you."

After saying this, Chen Mo turned and walked towards Zhi Ning.

Zhi Ning's petite body trembled slightly, her long and clear eyes flashing with ruthless determination, saying coldly, "You lowly commoner, what are you doing now? If you dare to humiliate me again, I'll... I'll fight you to the death."

"To vent your sister's anger."

Chen Mo grabbed Zhi Ning and threw her onto the bed, saying, "You wicked woman, your sister treats you so well, yet you use her and drag her into it."

Zhi Ning: "..."

Benefiting while behaving loyally, since he was already wary of her, it indicated he saw through her schemes, deliberately behaving this way.

Yet he says these things now.

How shameless can this man be?

Xia Zhiqing listened to the boy's words, her thoughts were complicated.
