Chapter 17: Chapter 17: This Wife, A Bit Fierce

"Not at all!"

Usually dominant Ning Mengyao was now flustered with a racing heart.

Not daring to look up, she was backed up against a wall.

Smelling Lin Fan’s scent, her breathing became heavy.

The recent mention of a snake made her instinctively think of that scene on the mountain road.

It was an overwhelming experience she would never forget in her life.

"If you don’t miss me, then I can leave."

Lin Fan made a gesture to leave but was instantly pulled back by Ning Mengyao.

"Don’t go!"

Ning Mengyao quickly grabbed his arm.

He was a treasure at this moment.

"If you don’t want me to leave, come here, let me have a kiss first."

Lin Fan said with a smile, lifting her chin.

Her bright red lips were undeniably fatally attractive.

Finally in control, especially since the door was already locked.

The two could do something without any interruptions.

"No way!"

Just as Lin Fan was about to devour her, Ning Mengyao suddenly pushed him away.

She ran to the sofa on the side.

Watching Ning Mengyao flee, Lin Fan asked with a laugh.

"We’ve kissed before, why so shy!"

"It’s not the same!"

Ning Mengyao’s face turned crimson.

Undoubtedly, the physical contact earlier had momentarily dazed her.

But she couldn’t overcome the emotional barrier in her heart.

After all, marriage couldn’t be measured by physical connections alone.

"What’s so different!"

Lin Fan pursed his lips.

He had worked hard to secure such a big order.

Not being able to kiss her seemed completely unfair.

"Because you don’t understand women."

Ning Mengyao took a deep breath.

She didn’t want to argue over something so senseless.

"So you’re not letting me leave because I hold the connection with First Hospital and, in your eyes, I still have value to be utilized?"

Lin Fan didn’t want to think this way.

But that didn’t mean it wasn’t so.

After all, this order was critical for the company’s fate.

"Then go, leave now, and I’ll pretend I was blind!"

Hearing this, Ning Mengyao burst out furiously.

Her eyes wide open, she gazed complicatedly at Lin Fan.

"Don’t, don’t, don’t, I was just talking; you don’t need to get so angry, right?"

Lin Fan quickly apologized.

Because the disappointment in that look was heartbreaking.

"You are insulting my character and questioning my integrity; I have nothing more to say to you."

Ning Mengyao turned resolutely and walked to the desk.

But the next second, her slender waist was embraced by Lin Fan.

"But I have something to say to you."

Lin Fan greedily gazed at her close face.

Her tender skin blushed from white, her bright teeth more pitiable upon sight.

Especially her fiery figure which made him unable to stop.

He pressed her tender body against his chest.

He just wanted to devour her this very moment.

"Then come on, I won’t struggle!"

Suddenly calm as water, Ning Mengyao simply stared into his eyes.

She did not struggle, nor did she feign rejection to invite further advances.

"Really?"

Lin Fan was taken aback.

Just now, she had refused to agree to anything.

How had it suddenly changed like this?

"Of course. You are my husband, and my body belongs to you, but the moment you finish will be the moment my life ends. Perhaps this doesn’t mean much to you, but to me, it’s a desecration that I absolutely cannot accept. So, if you really want, you can go ahead."

The calm in Ning Mengyao’s voice was like a slab of ice.

He recalled the determination she showed on their wedding night, holding scissors against her neck.

Licking his lips, Lin Fan eventually suppressed the fire in his heart.

He could only helplessly let go of her.

"I believe every word you said, and I apologize for my rashness just now. Can you forgive me?"

Lacking experience with women, Lin Fan could only awkwardly look at Ning Mengyao.

After straightening her clothes, she took a deep breath and sat down in the executive chair.

"It’s not that I don’t want to get close to you. I admit I don’t dislike you, but that doesn’t mean I can accept our marriage. After all, we barely know each other. I didn’t even know your name before!"

True to her reputation as a strong woman, even though touched, Ning Mengyao remained exceptionally calm.

Her beautiful eyes looked at Lin Fan, and the feelings of seeing him again gave her an impulse.

"But I still can’t accept it. Our marriage was based on a physical transaction. We talked about it the day before yesterday. If, after six months, we get along well, I can give you everything, but if not, I hope you’ll abide by our agreement and dissolve the marriage, allowing us to go our separate ways."

"No problem."

Lin Fan sat on the chair opposite her.

Six months was enough time to get to know her better.

"The contract for the First Hospital, I’ll have it sent over in a little while. If you don’t want me to appear in the office, I’ll leave tonight."

"That’s not necessary... But if you want to stay, you must promise me not to talk about us to anyone else, and you cannot do that to me again. Of course, you are still free. If there’s a woman who moves your heart, you’re definitely free to pursue her, but I assure you, I won’t be unfaithful before our divorce!"

Hearing Lin Fan was leaving, Ning Mengyao suddenly felt a twinge of heartache.

This feeling of reluctance combined with the inability to act impulsively left her somewhat lost.

"Alright, no problem. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to the marketing department."

From their close contact, the fragrance of a charming woman lingered in his breath.

If he stayed any longer, Lin Fan truly feared he might lose control of himself.

"You don’t need to go back to the marketing department."

Seeing Lin Fan stand up, Ning Mengyao hurriedly spoke up.

Only now did she realize that this stranger, her husband, was quite capable.

"Then where should I go?"

Lin Fan’s retort made Ning Mengyao hesitate.

It wasn’t fit to make him a senior manager all at once, as it would breed resentment in others.

"Stay and be my assistant, then. Do you think that would be beneath you?"

In her selfishness, Ning Mengyao still wanted to see Lin Fan every day.

Keeping him close as an assistant was a solution that seemed best for both worlds.

It could also provide an opportunity to better understand each other, perhaps making a future divorce unnecessary.

"Of course not, but as a former soldier, I’m not suited for clerical work. You won’t despise me for that, will you?"

Lin Fan could see Ning Mengyao’s reluctance.

Though staying close didn’t mean he could win her over.

But holding hands occasionally wasn’t too bad.

"For someone who negotiated a 250 million contract, even if you’re illiterate, it won’t matter. However, you must give me half of your 0.3% commission to manage. Men tend to become corrupt with money; at the end of the year, I’ll double it for you."

Ning Mengyao showed a happy smile.

If she could see him every day in the future.

That would be true happiness.

"Isn’t this skimming off your employee!"

Lin Fan looked helplessly at Ning Mengyao’s exquisite face.

The feeling of seeing but not having made him itch inside.

"As a husband, shouldn’t you contribute to the household expenses?"

Seeing Lin Fan’s bitter face, Ning Mengyao suddenly felt like laughing.

Perhaps this was the taste of love.

But at least her conflicted heart was now slightly leaning towards him.

Even if only a little bit.
