The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 746

Chapter 746: Chapter 746

I knew my own affairs well, even though I had been married before and experienced the intimacy between a man and a woman, Mo Hongyan had never felt as happy as she had last night.

The harder the time was last night, the more happiness it accompanied.

Such a feeling really fascinated her, and she couldn’t forget it now.

If Xu Qianli, this man, were gone, wouldn’t her happiness be gone too? How could that be allowed?

So, no matter what, she had to spare Xu Qianli’s life.

Not only did she have to spare his life, but she also had to take good care of him in the future, make him content, so he would have sufficient energy.

Although it was a bit shameless, Mo Hongyan didn’t care about that anymore; she just wanted Xu Qianli to be well.

Mo Yudie scratched her head, completely puzzled, "He bullied you so badly last night, and yet you still protect him. Is it worth it?"

Mo Hongyan said, "Adult matters are none of kids’ business. I have my own judgment on what to do; you don’t need to worry about this."

"Mom, I think you’ve been poisoned by Xu Qianli. Well, forget it, as long as you’re happy, as long as you’re satisfied. But about this matter, how will it be handled in the future? What will you do about your relationship with him? I mean, after all, you’re the Family Head of the Mo Family, the number one noble family in Wangdong Province; so many people are watching you. Your affair with him, you can’t hide it forever; it’s bound to come out sooner or later, and how will others view you?"

Mo Yudie understood that her mother definitely had Xu Qianli in her heart.

After all, a mature woman suddenly spending a night with a robust man like Xu Qianli, there must be some trace of him in her heart.

Women, by nature, are emotional beings, not like those heartless men who can just zip up their pants and leave; women often form attachments after intimacy.

As a widow who had been lonely for so long, it was normal for her to have Xu Qianli in her heart after falling into his arms.

For an ordinary family’s woman to have a man, it’s not a big deal; they can be together openly, even remarry.

But her mother, Mo Hongyan, was not an ordinary person; she was the Family Head’s wife of the Mo Family of Wangdong Province, with an extraordinary status, attracting countless eyes with every move.

To put it bluntly, even if a fart was heard, people would speculate for three days, trying to figure out if there was any hidden meaning in that fart.

Now, she’s got a man, and if it got out, who knows how it would be viewed.

Especially those within the Mo Family, each of them was like a vicious wolf, eyeing the position of Family Head and the family wealth greedily, and would jump at any opportunity to tear everything apart.

If they found out Mom had a man by her side, what would their reaction be?

They would probably come knocking at the door immediately, forcing her to hand over the family reins with the excuse that she’s involved with another man and to prevent the Mo Family’s interests from being handed to outsiders, and then seize everything from both mother and daughter.

The warmth and happiness of a small family simply did not exist in a large clan, especially in a super-wealthy family like the Mo Family; it was all about interests, and the family members were all competitors to be guarded against.

Mo Hongyan had considered this matter too, "Yudie, you don’t need to worry about anything. I have no intention of developing anything further with Xu Qianli. Last night was enough for me, and I won’t let anything happen between us in the future."

The maid said, "Ma’am, please don’t torment yourself like this. You know your own body better than anyone—your desires are much stronger than the average woman’s, and yet you’re too proud and conservative to allow a man by your side, nearly driving yourself mad with frustration, always looking gloomy and with poor complexion. Now you’ve finally found a good man who makes you radiant, how can it all end after just one night? If you ask me, just do this—let him continue to pretend to be the young miss’s boyfriend. If we say he’s the young miss’s boyfriend to the public, he can come and accompany you at home openly, with no one suspecting anything."

The maid was quite the clever imp, brimming with all sorts of crafty ideas, and she quickly figured out a way for Mo Hongyan to meet with Xu Qianli in secret without arousing suspicion.

That Xu Qianli guy, wasn’t he just pretending to be Mo Yudie’s boyfriend when he came to the Mo Family? Just let him keep up the act.

But the purpose had changed, before he did it to deal with his mom, so he wouldn’t be forced into a marriage alliance with another wealthy clan, now it had turned into helping with a cover-up.

Mo Yudie’s red lips quivered, she wanted to stop it. She really didn’t want Xu Qianli to become her stepfather.

But thinking of her mother’s happiness, she held back and chose to remain silent.

Hmph, Xu Qianli you jerk, you’re barely a few years older than me, and yet you’re about to be my stepfather, how detestable, it made her angry just thinking about it.

Don’t be smug just yet, you just wait, I’ll see how I’ll deal with you in the future!

Today, she would swallow this grievance, but she would find a way to deal with that Xu Qianli guy in the future, she absolutely couldn’t let him be too arrogant and pleased with himself.

At this time, Xu Qianli, who had been soundly asleep, suddenly turned over, changing from lying on his side to lying flat, and the air-conditioning blanket slipped off him.

Only then did Mo Yudie realize that Xu Qianli wasn’t wearing pajamas, stark naked.

First thing in the morning, that guy was really spirited, his morale was sky-high.

Upon clearly seeing that guy’s "one thousand pieces," Mo Yudie’s eyes bulged, her heart shaken with fright.

Good gosh, was that necessary to be so terrifying, was this guy a human or grown from a donkey?

No wonder her mom was so loud last night, any woman would be scared facing such a... specimen.

Mo Hongyan’s ears started to burn, bad, she had been caught by Mo Yudie, she might have seen her clearly, after all, she had spent the whole night with Xu Qianli.

Struggling to shift her gaze away, Mo Yudie looked at Mo Hongyan with heartfelt sympathy, "Mom, you really had a hard night, that couldn’t have been easy for you. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere, should we go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Mo Hongyan’s ears were burning, she was so embarrassed, she didn’t know how to answer.

To say nothing was wrong would be tantamount to admitting her particularly strong needs.

Caught in a dilemma, the maid spoke up cheerily, "Young Miss, you don’t have to worry about anything, the mistress is just fine, not only unharmed, but also feeling great. Just a little swollen, but the medicine’s already on, it’s nothing."

Mo Hongyan really couldn’t take it anymore and sprang up, "I’m going to use the restroom."

The two maids laughed heartily, "Mistress, you’re really so shy, all of us have been through it, what’s there to be embarrassed about?"

"Enough from you two, keep talking, and see if I don’t just find a man to marry you both off randomly!"

Having said that, Mo Hongyan dove into the bathroom, shut the door, and gazed at her reflection in the mirror, looking ravishing yet feeling the embarrassment down to her bones.

Damn it, it was all Xu Qianli’s fault, why did that guy have to be so robust for no reason.

Thinking back to last night’s events, her legs were still a little weak.
