Chapter 349: Chapter 339: Misunderstood

Wang Meng, seething with anger, once again visited the Great Xia Mansion.

Long Chen, seeing Wang Meng so obstinate, took her into the dark room again.

But just as Long Chen was about to make a move, Wang Meng calmly said, "Do whatever you want, in the end, having met Ning Shenji, that bastard, he doesn’t see me as a person. He wants to use me to seduce you. He also said that if I use my pure body to successfully tempt you into giving up the art of Alchemy, he would not marry me but instead treat me as a plaything.

If I fail, then he will marry me. Either way, I’m at a dead end.

So, do whatever you please. In any case, I won’t let either of you off, even if I become a ghost."

"You? Pure?"

Long Chen gazed at Wang Meng.

"If I’m not pure, then what am I in your eyes? What kind of woman am I?"

Wang Meng’s breath grew more hurried, inflamed with anger.

Long Chen waved his hand, smiling lightly, "I really didn’t expect you to be chaste, nor did I expect that Ning Shenji was your fiancé."

"Now that you know, it’s not too late. I am his fiancée, he doesn’t dare to threaten you directly, so he sends his fiancée to seduce you without regard for her own dignity, haha, how laughable."

Wang Meng scoffed.

"I sympathize with your predicament, but that’s no reason to keep pestering me," Long Chen said indifferently.

"I understand," Wang Meng replied. "You’re just like that Ning Shenji. He doesn’t dare to provoke you easily, and you don’t dare to offend him, after all, he has the support of the Heavenly God Temple.

I didn’t come today to keep pestering you about teaching that old medic Alchemy, but to tell you, I hope you will hold your ground and never let Ning Shenji succeed.

If you don’t believe me, then do whatever you want, if you dishonor me, I’ll just kill myself and end it all, becoming a vengeful spirit to exact revenge."

"Is there a possibility,"

Long Chen asked with a smile, "that even as an evil spirit you won’t be able to defeat me, then what?"

"You..."

Wang Meng was infuriated.

Long Chen eyed Wang Meng with a devilish smile: "Look at you, smooth and delicate, curves in all the right places, you really are pitiful, so how about we just..."

Long Chen stepped closer to Wang Meng.

Terrified, Wang Meng closed her eyes, shaking with fear.

But after a long wait, the nightmare she anticipated didn’t come.

Long Chen stopped in his tracks, chuckling, "You can go. Since you’ve told the truth, I won’t trouble you further."

"But I want to trouble you," Wang Meng said. "Yesterday, you forced me to do that, I’m not satisfied, you owe me an apology."

"What did I do yesterday? Nothing happened," Long Chen said.

Wang Meng clenched her teeth in anger: "You made me kneel before you and then you... you..."

"What did I do? Aren’t you still ’intact’? I didn’t touch you. I, Long Chen, am a man of principles."

Long Chen declared confidently.

"You bastard."

Wang Meng was brought to tears.

Unable to win either with force or argument, Wang Meng felt utterly hopeless.

Long Chen regarded Wang Meng, seeing some pitiful aspect in her, and a twinge of compassion arose.

"Yesterday I was unaware of what you were going through, I only knew you were persistently uncooperative, which is why I did what I did. If you insist on being obstinate today, I will repeat what happened yesterday. Don’t say it wasn’t somewhat enjoyable, you have a talent, and you could probably adapt quickly and become quite formidable."

Long Chen said with a faint smile.

"You’re disgusting." Wang Meng loudly retorted, her face red with fury. "I would rather die than do that for you again."

"You came to me today, and you were prepared to be bullied once more. This shows that deep down you like me and don’t actually hate what happened, right?"

"You’re spouting nonsense."

"Alright, enough talk. Forget about the apology, I, Long Chen, will not easily apologize to anyone in this lifetime. As for Ning Shenji, I won’t hand over the art of Alchemy to them. If they think of seizing it by force, let alone Ning Shenji, even if it’s the Heavenly God Temple, I will uproot them completely."

Long Chen spoke lightly, his eyes growing colder.

"You... you’re not afraid of the Heavenly God Temple?"

Wang Meng asked.

"What is the Heavenly God Temple, anyway? I have never taken it seriously," said Long Chen offhandedly.

Wang Meng’s eyes lit up as if she had found a lifeline and suddenly grabbed Long Chen’s arm: "Let me help you."

"Help me with what?"

"I’ll help you resolve your problem."

Wang Meng reached out and grabbed Long Chen’s belt.

Long Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly intervened.

If it had been yesterday, Long Chen would have been very willing.

But today’s Wang Meng was different from yesterday’s.

Long Chen didn’t want to take advantage of Wang Meng. In his view, Wang Meng must have come from no ordinary background, but that didn’t change the fact that she was a pitiful girl.

To bully such a girl was not the act of a true man.

"You don’t need to do this," Long Chen let go of Wang Meng and said sternly, "Just stop targeting me, and I can help you get rid of Ning Shenji’s entanglement unconditionally. You don’t have to marry him."

Wang Meng’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Really," Long Chen replied, "I have to deal with Heavenly God Temple anyway, helping you along the way is no problem."

"You... you don’t hate me?"

Wang Meng stared at Long Chen.

"How could I bear to hate someone with such a sweet face? Mainly, your ’skills’ are actually quite good, haha."

Long Chen teased.

"You’re disgusting."

Wang Meng felt so embarrassed she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"Alright, I need to go outside and check things out. If you want to leave, leave; if you don’t, just don’t bother me."

Long Chen said with a smile.

"Then you don’t want it anymore?" Wang Meng asked in a bashful whisper, "I’m willing to help you now."

Long Chen paused briefly in his steps, then without saying a word, walked out of the temple.

Wang Meng watched Long Chen’s retreating figure, unable to see through him for a moment.

This man had domineeringly forced her to do certain things yesterday.

But today, when she was voluntarily helping him, he simply left.

Why?

Wang Meng pondered deeply.

"It must be because, yesterday I was an enemy in his eyes, so he had no scruples, but now, after I’ve confessed everything, he sympathizes with me, he is kind to those who are not his enemies, yes, it must be that."

Wang Meng mumbled to herself.

For a moment, Wang Meng’s emotions became complicated, and she followed Long Chen out of the temple.

Long Chen was busy for a day in Great Xia Mansion, moving everywhere to instruct, ensuring that everything was well-organized.

Wang Meng followed Long Chen all day too, which led to some misunderstandings among the workers.

"Boss Long, your sister-in-law has been following you for a while now, she probably has something she wants to talk to you about."

A worker said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law?"

Long Chen was taken aback.

Wang Meng blushed and hurriedly waved her hands, "I’m not his wife."

"Who will believe that? Ha, you two look so well-matched."

After saying that, the worker walked away laughing with two steel pipes over his shoulder.

Long Chen turned to stare at Wang Meng, "See, by following me around like this, we’ve been misunderstood."

"Let them misunderstand, I’m not scared, you are," Wang Meng snorted mockingly, "If your wife finds out you’ve been roaming around with a pretty girl all day, will you have to kneel on the keyboard tonight?"

Wang Meng scoffed.

"You? A pretty girl?"

Long Chen looked at Wang Meng with a half-smile.

"What... what’s wrong? Didn’t you say yourself that I’m sweet?"

Wang Meng glared at Long Chen.
