Chapter 49: Let me rub it for you!

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Let me rub it for you!

The night was deep and quiet.

The Ning Mansion had returned to its usual peace.

After washing up, Ning Mengyao looked at her own reflection in the mirror.

With mixed feelings, she eventually pushed open the door of the bathroom.

That evening, she had agreed to go to bed and sleep.

But faced with so many unknowns, she felt uneasy.

"Are you very tired?"

Seeing Ning Mengyao come out, Lin Fan put down his phone.

"My neck is a bit uncomfortable, but it’s okay, I’m used to it."

Ning Mengyao pursed her lips and slid underneath the covers.

"It’s probably a misalignment of the cervical vertebrae caused by long periods of desk work. Let me give you a massage, I guarantee it will cure the ailment."

Lin Fan walked around to her side of the bed.

After signaling for her to lie down, his strong hands slowly rested on her jade-like neck.

Lin Fan’s palms gently stroked her back as smooth as jade.

His fingers continuously fiddled with her cervical vertebrae.

A tingling sensation rushed from the soles of her feet to the back of her head.

"How is it, do you feel a bit more comfortable?"

Looking at Ning Mengyao, who was tightly gripping the sheets, Lin Fan asked softly.

"Mmm... comfortable..."

Struggling to suppress the tingling sensation, Ning Mengyao nodded slightly, her lips pursed.

"In the future, try not to sit at the desk for too long. Your third and seventh vertebrae are somewhat worn. Be sure to exercise regularly. A person can only be healthier when they move around. Don’t sacrifice your health for work, or when you’re old and full of illnesses, money will be of no use."

Lin Fan gently kneaded Ning Mengyao’s rounded shoulders.

The pressure was sometimes strong and sometimes gentle, but the force penetrated her skin, reaching directly to her meridians.

"The way you speak now, you sound more and more like Grandpa."

Ning Mengyao turned her head to look at Lin Fan, who was sitting by the bed.

From this angle, he really looked handsome.

"Alright, if you find me annoying, I’ll just shut up then."

Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders.

"I don’t find you annoying. Besides, you’ve saved me several times today. I wouldn’t know what to do without you."

Ning Mengyao didn’t feel annoyed at all.

Rather, she found the feeling of being nagged at by someone quite pleasant.

Especially since that someone was her husband.

"Without me, you would have also turned dangers into safety."

Lin Fan didn’t need her to feel too grateful.

After all, love wasn’t something to be given as charity.

Nor was it meant to be repaid.

"Do you think that annoying guy will really give up?"

Thinking back to Ning Changfeng, who had left in disgrace, Ning Mengyao felt very annoyed.

This guy’s return was clearly aimed at the position of CEO.

"Of course not, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many villains in the world. But you don’t have to worry, I’ll be by your side, making sure no one can hurt you."

"Thank you."

These warm words made Ning Mengyao feel even warmer inside.

Having lost her father’s affection, she suddenly found the feeling of being protected.

"By the way, can I make a small suggestion?"

Lin Fan stopped his massage, stood up with a smile.

"Go ahead."

Feeling very good, Ning Mengyao didn’t refuse this time.

She just shyly turned her head away.

She couldn’t even dare to look into Lin Fan’s eyes.

At this moment, she had tacitly agreed to some things.

Even if he pounced on her, she wouldn’t refuse anymore.

"In the future, after you poop, don’t wait so long to come out. It’s not that smelly, and sitting on the toilet for a long time is bad for your health. It’s easy to get hemorrhoids..."

Before Lin Fan could finish what he was saying, he noticed a flash of sharpness in Ning Mengyao’s beautiful eyes.

It was the kind of murderous intent that appears when one harbors the thought of killing.

This woman was actually a hidden master.

"It’s getting late, I’m tired, good night!"

Lin Fan hurriedly pulled back the blanket and dove into bed.

But Ning Mengyao wasn’t ready to let him off the hook.

She lifted her foot and kicked him directly in the waist.

"Tonight, you’re sleeping on the floor!"

......

Inside Ning Bingcai’s small villa.

Ning Bingcai, disheveled and driven out, sat in a chair smoking a cigarette.

He had intended to use this self-sacrificing trick to compel his father to take down Ning Mengyao from her position as CEO.

But unexpectedly, Lin Fan had seen through it, and he was instead kicked out.

"Dad, I told you this self-sacrificing trick wouldn’t work."

Ning Changfeng lounged on the sofa.

The area around his chrysanthemum was still painfully burning, the pain not having fully subsided.

His rounded head was still swollen.

The missing front tooth made his speech slightly whistly.

"I did this for you to regain our place in the family tree, to reclaim what was taken from us. Who knew your acting would be so poor? Just a little scare from them and you cowered; I really don’t understand how you’ve been getting by outside all these years, with such a faint heart, you still dare to call yourself a worldly man."

Ning Bingcai glared harshly at his son.

Originally, his oldest grandson had a chance to gain the management rights.

But then that incident happened.

"Dad, are you joking? If I hadn’t dodged quickly, you’d be sending me to the crematorium right now!"

Ning Changfeng thought back to everything that had just occurred and still felt a chill down his spine.

That guy’s kick had been lethal.

"I don’t believe he would dare to kill someone in broad daylight. If anything had happened to you, I would have fought him to the death."

Ning Bingcai fiercely stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

He leaned back on the sofa, his face full of irritation.

"Dad, I’m your own son, I only have one life; you can’t gamble with my life. What if we lose? Even if we killed him afterwards, it would be too late, and besides, you don’t have the means to touch him."

Ning Changfeng wasn’t foolish enough to gamble with his own life.

"This damn guy, I don’t even know where the old man found him from, and now that the elder is angry, it won’t be so easy for you to return to the family tree."

Ning Bingcai sighed.

He truly felt at his wit’s end.

"Even if I don’t return to the family tree, what does it matter? As long as we ruin Ning Mengyao, once the company is headless, wouldn’t it still fall into our hands?"

Ning Changfeng’s eyes flickered with a new plan.

"You said it yourself, that guy can fight; even those men you brought back were defeated by him. With him around, we have no chance to strike at Ning Mengyao. Even if we could, that fellow is ruthless, and we couldn’t bear his retaliation."

Ning Bingcai rubbed his temples.

Lin Fan’s arrival had indeed become an obstacle.

"Dad, just relax. This guy won’t last long. Besides, we are the type who use our brains. If we can’t do it underhandedly, we’ll go overtly. Here is a contract from a multinational company; find a way to get Ning Mengyao to approve it."

Ning Changfeng took out a contract from his bag and handed it to Ning Bingcai.

The contract, entirely in English, left him completely baffled.

"What is this contract? Why is it all in English? I don’t understand it."

Ning Bingcai stared blankly at the text.

He didn’t recognize a single word.

"That’s exactly right, it’s a major international contract, naturally, it follows international standards."

Ning Changfeng smiled smugly.

"What exactly does it say, and what will happen once it’s approved?"

Ning Bingcai asked, puzzled.

"Let me put it simply, this is a trap contract, extremely professional, to the point that even professional translators would struggle to find the hidden issues. As long as Ning Mengyao signs it, the clauses will quickly result in a major financial loss for her. Not just her, but the company will have to be handed over to us!"

Ning Changfeng smiled sinisterly.

This time, he was determined to reclaim everything he had lost.

The first step was naturally to bring down Ning Mengyao.
