Chapter 191 Now It’s My Turn

Jiang Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva when Yang Liqin continued to expose more and more of his secret.

He was planning on nurturing Xue Daiyu secretly, but who would have thought Yang Liqin would spot her.

"I don't have a right to reprimand you for keeping so many secrets since I'm the same. But you should at least warn us about another presence in our house." Yang Liqin said, her expression remaining the same.

Jiang Ming scratched his head and smiled bitterly.

Wasn't it because he didn't want her to worry about another presence?

Given his understanding of the people in the Northern Continent, not many people had heard about house spirits existing anyway.

"Why am I getting interrogated, aunt?" Jiang Ming started acting pitifully as he coy around her lap. "I'm your nephew, plus lover. Why are you trying to lecture me on every single thing?"

"It's because I treat you more than just my nephew that I'm lecturing you right now." Yang Liqin sighed as she stared deeply into his eyes.

"My sister had lost her life already and ordered me to take care of you to the best of my ability. Yet, I had gone and did a huge taboo by falling hopelessly in love with you." She said, her eyes becoming watery.

Her expression was clear that she had been feeling guilty all this time for indulging herself in such a taboo act. She didn't know how to face her dead sister anymore if she went to pray for her.

Jiang Ming also understood the turbulence of her emotion and kept quiet about it as he listened to her.

"You have no idea how guilty I was feeling this entire time while you were philandering around, enjoying multiple women. Every time you flirt with other women, there's a surge of jealousy in my heart, and I hate it." Yang Liqin gritted her teeth as she tried to suppress the tears in her eyes.

"I know men always want as many women as they can, but can't you understand our woman's feelings? You force your way and infiltrate my heart, but you don't even seem to cherish it once you obtain my heart." She added.

Seeing her pained expression, Jiang Ming felt guilty about his action. He was ashamed of himself, and the fact that he even tried to brag about being able to enjoy the comfort of numerous women.

All this time, he had been acting without thinking about the consequences of his action. Not to mention, the overconfidence he had in doing things was constantly making her worry to death.

Jiang Ming lowered his head as he went on his knee.

"I'm sorry, aunt. It's my fault for not cherishing your feelings and understanding your concern regarding my action." He apologized sincerely, placing his hand on her.

He held her hand tightly and wanted to reassure her that he would try his best to change.

Meanwhile, Yang Liqin started bawling as she wrapped her arms around Jiang Ming. "I'm supposed to be your aunt and role model, but I'm failing at every angle. I fell for my sister's son and even watched you in a near-death state without being able to do anything."

Jiang Ming started to rub her back softly with his hands to calm her down.

"It's okay, aunt. You have done more than enough for me in these past years. I couldn't be any more grateful to have you as my aunt." He whispered sweetly.

While this was happening, Xue Daiyu, who had been trapped in the cage, was staring at them with a confused expression.

'Why am I still trapped here?' She asked herself silently.

Sometime later, Yang Liqin finally finished releasing her stress and the emotions she had been keeping in her heart.

She pulled away from Jiang Ming as she flashed her usual gentle smile.

"You don't blame me for being useless and unable to save you from your horrendous academy lifestyle, right?" She asked coyly.

Jiang Ming shook his head.

If anyone is to be blamed for that incident, then Jiang Ming would only blame the original person himself for allowing such a thing to happen in the first place.

The trap was so obvious and crystal clear, but he couldn't even notice that and fell into the trap.

"Liqin, do you want to dual cultivate with me?" Jiang Ming suddenly spoke softly.

Yang Liqin had suspected that she heard him wrongly and asked, "W-What did you just say?"

Jiang Ming smiled as he leaned closer to her, "I said do you want to dual cultivate with me? Since I really want to ravage you right now, we should increase our cultivation base in the meantime, right?"

Yang Liqin's face flushed red as his hot breath brushed past her. She could feel her heart beating extremely fast from his sudden question.

She had just gone through an emotional phase, and he was already ready to pull the trigger.

"I-Isn't it still too soon?" Yang Liqin managed to stutter out. She was saying how it was still daytime and should wait till night to do that kind of activity.

Alas, Jiang Ming had been suppressing the little brother under him for a long time already. If it weren't for the cockblocking Shuang Shu, then he would have already done the deed.

He ignored her words and started carrying her in princess style. "You had spent the last few hours scolding me, so now it's my turn."

With that said, Jiang Ming hurriedly rushed upstairs to their bedroom where he stripped off his clothes in a flash after placing Yang Liqin on the bed.

Yang Liqin was like a timid girl in front of a werewolf as she tried to grab the blanket on the side to cover herself.

"J-Jiang Ming… calm down. We shouldn't be thinking about this when there is more important stuff to do." She tried to reason with him.

"What's more important than our happiness, Liqin. You can't escape today!" Jiang Ming laughed wildly as he started pouncing on her.
