Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Sharing Half the Bed with You

"My God, a murder happened on Four-direction Street!"

"Look, that’s the murderer."

"I heard he’s Sun Ba’s godson, killed Sun Ba over his godmother..."

The commotion arose on Four-direction Street.

Wearing handcuffs and shackles, the Bloody Wolf identified the murder scene one by one.

Several bodies covered with white cloths were carried out.

"Isn’t that the alley we just passed?"

Sitting on the terrace, Ning Mengyao stared at Lin Fan sitting opposite her, astonished.

She had not expected that the alley she had just passed by witnessed a violent crime.

"Five thousand years of civilization, which inch of land hasn’t seen death?"

Swirling his cocktail, Lin Fan watched Ning Mengyao with a smile.

Yang Linglong had left earlier due to some matters, giving the two a chance to be alone together.

"By the way, I’ve heard my grandfather mention your cousin, seems his name is Ning Changfeng, what does he do?"

Lin Fan asked casually.

But he caught a hint of annoyance on Ning Mengyao’s face.

"If it weren’t for him, my dad would still be alive!"

Every time she thought of that name, Ning Mengyao involuntarily clenched her teeth.

If she hadn’t had a little to drink, and if Lin Fan weren’t sitting opposite her,

she surely wouldn’t want to mention this person.

"He’s always been unruly, but as the eldest grandson, my grandfather always wanted to groom him as the successor. Yet this ignorant man had no interest in managing family business, spending his days gathering a bunch of rascals and thugs to fight and brawl. But my second uncle’s family did nothing to stop him, letting him grow increasingly lawless until he finally caused a huge disaster!"

Ning Mengyao took a deep breath.

Only then did she continue.

"The group previously had a mineral development project. After he took charge, he spent his days wining and dining in the mines, God knows what he got up to. Four years ago, a landslide occurred in the mine, and over thirty miners were trapped underground. Not only did he not contact rescuers, but he also had his men block the news and attempted to bury the site to cover up the fault. Fortunately, my father discovered it in time, even went down the mine to rescue people himself. In the end, all the miners were saved, but my dad never got the chance to see the light of day again because of a second collapse."

A series of accidents caused heavy losses to the Ning Family.

It was then that Ning Zhenyue resolutely expelled this unfilial grandson from the family.

And handed the CEO position over to his granddaughter, Ning Mengyao.

As a result, the Ning Family fell apart.

She also bore a grudge against her second and third uncles.

"So, do you know where he went?"

Lin Fan found it hard to think well of this Ning Changfeng, especially since he had hired Sun Ba to capture Ning Mengyao.

"I couldn’t care less about him, only heard he went to Lincheng, back to his old ways with a bunch of no-good friends."

Ning Mengyao said with exasperation.

"Well, it seems like your cousin isn’t exactly up to any good."

Lin Fan squinted, watching the bustling street below.

At this moment, the Bloody Wolf, having just identified the scene,

was being escorted by the police to move forward.

But right then, he seemed dazed and confused,

muttering the same few sentences over and over.

"I am guilty... I killed people... they were all killed by me..."

This was the price he paid for survival.

With him as the scapegoat,

nobody would find Lin Fan.

...

At midnight,

Ning Mengyao was helped back home by Lin Fan.

Perhaps because they had brought up Ning Changfeng,

she drank the last few glasses a bit hastily.

So now, she was in a semi-drunken state,

leaning her soft body on Lin Fan’s chest.

"It looks like your relationship is progressing well."

To their surprise, upon entering, they saw Ning Zhenyue sitting in the central hall.

"Grandpa, why aren’t you asleep at this late hour?"

Lin Fan asked curiously.

"Do you think I can sleep? Do you really take me for a senile old man?"

Ning Zhenyue’s face was stern as he looked at the two of them.

"Grandfather... we didn’t drink much... just... a tiny bit..."

Ning Mengyao hurriedly tried to defend herself.

"I’m not talking about that!"

Ning Zhenyue slammed the table and stood up.

"You two just got married, how can you be living separately in the East Cross Court and West Cross Court?"

"It’s not like that... Grandfather, you’ve got the wrong idea, I snore at night and it disturbs Meng Yao’s rest, that’s why I’ve been staying in the East Cross Court."

Lin Fan quickly explained.

"You’re a married couple; you’ll get used to a bit of snoring if you listen to it often enough. I’ve had someone close off the yards. Starting today, both of you are to live in the West Cross Court, and from today on, no drinking. You’re to prepare for pregnancy properly."

Ning Zhenyue said sternly, watching as they walked back to the West Cross Court.

Lin Fan could only support Ning Mengyao as they staggered back to the west room.

He looked at her somewhat collapsed form, leaning against the bed.

Only then did he take a good look around the room.

"You sleep; I’ll go to the study next door."

Since he had promised Ning Mengyao not to touch her, Lin Fan naturally had to honor their agreement.

After all, she wasn’t joking that day in the office.

"The study is full of hard wooden furniture; it’s impossible to sleep there. How about you just sleep here..."

Ning Mengyao, whose head was slightly muddled, quickly rushed into the bathroom to take a shower.

She only emerged after her mind had cleared.

Her appearance, clad in a snow-white bathrobe, was more alluring than ever.

"That will do. I’ll just make do with a makeshift bed on the floor for tonight, and we can find a solution tomorrow."

Lin Fan looked around the spacious bedroom, but aside from the dressing table and the large wardrobe,

there wasn’t even a couch.

"Forget it, the floor is too hard, and besides, Grandfather has already closed off the East Cross Court, so you have nowhere to go. As long as you promise not to touch me, I can make room for you on half of the bed."

Dabbing the droplets of water from her hair, Ning Mengyao said shyly.

Although they had been physically close before, the thought of lying on the same bed still made her heart beat faster and her cheeks flush.

"Then... I’ll take a shower too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan was naturally pleased.

But as soon as he stepped into the bathroom, what he faced were Ning Mengyao’s personal garments.

The plump little clothes were just lying there.

His reminiscent heart, smelling the lingering scent in the bathroom,

his mind echoing again with the splendid moments on the mountain that day.

"Having a wife I can’t touch, yet having to sleep together, this is really a test of my self-restraint."

He hastily turned on the shower head,

The cool water helped extinguish the fire in Lin Fan’s heart.

But looking around, he saw that the entire bathroom was filled with Ning Mengyao’s belongings.

Suppressing his feelings was not as easy as he had imagined.

"I need to find an excuse to move out tomorrow, or who knows what might happen."

Lin Fan never considered himself a paragon of virtue.

How could he remain unmoved faced with such stunning beauty?

Staying here would only be excruciating torture.

If he lost control, there was no telling what he might do.

However, just as he pushed open the bathroom door and walked back to the bedroom,

he stopped dead in his tracks.

At that moment, Ning Mengyao, who had been a bit tipsy, had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Curled up on the bed, wearing only a thin nightgown,

Her waterfall-like hair spread out beside the pillow,

Highlighting her exquisitely beautiful face.

And the gentle swell of her curves beneath the fabric,

Plus her graceful, slender figure,

Made Lin Fan suddenly think, even if he couldn’t taste, just looking could satisfy the craving.
