"Why did you invite Yuan Chunhua inside?" Yang Liqin said in a not so kindly tone. Her tone made it clear that she wasn't happy about having her in the house.
Jiang Ming smiled awkwardly, clearly not knowing how to respond.
A few seconds later, Yang Liqin made a sneering expression as she walked toward the mirror to inspect her appearance.
"You can entertain her if you want, but don't drag me to it." She said coldly.
As much as she refused to see her, she knew in her heart that Jiang Ming still regarded Yuan Chunhua as his instructor.
Hence, Yang Liqin wouldn't make things difficult for Jiang Ming and would permit him to see her. Though that was not equivalent to her being fine with it. She merely respected him and allowed him to do what he wanted.
Jiang Ming had always known the personality of Yang Liqin pretty well and understood her thought process.
She would always put his feelings as the number one priority. Therefore, even if she doesn't like something, as long as he does, then she would allow it.
However, that was exactly the opposite of what Jiang Ming wanted. He didn't want this answer as an outcome.
He stepped forward and hugged Yang Liqin's waist from behind. "Are you still mad at her because of the incident of me being framed and nearly dying?"
While hugging her, he could tell her body trembled slightly when he abruptly brought up the past incident.
"That's already in the past, and if I have to be honest, then that incident shouldn't be blamed on Instructor Yuan Chunhua. After all, those people had been trying to scheme me forever, and would always wait for the perfect time to ruin me." Jiang Ming explained.
His meanings were clear for Yang Liqin to understand. What he meant was that if someone wanted to scheme against you, then it would be hard to guard against even if you're prepared.
Shaoxing Ming had been planning on killing him for the heir position since the start, so even if Yuan Chunhua hadn't gone to seclusion, then he would still find some other method.
Jiang Ming didn't say anymore and merely embraced her, feeling their body warmth clinging to each other.
After some time, Yang Liqin breathed out a soft sigh. "I know that the incident wasn't her fault, but I can't just forgive her. I have assisted her in return for one condition yet she couldn't even accomplish it."
"If you word it like that, then doesn't that mean it's my fault for being incompetent and falling into enemies scheme?"
Yang Liqin was baffled for a moment when she heard his claim. She wanted to deny it, but after pondering over it, she realized it was indeed true that the Jiang Ming back then was incompetent.
Hence, she could only bite her rosy lip softly and remained silent, unable to rebuke his argument.
Jiang Ming breathed out a soft sigh when that happened. 'Thank heaven I can still use myself as the shield to deflect her anger.'
What he just did was nothing but a gamble that tested Yang Liqin's bottom line. And he does not want to do that ever again.
With his hands tightly wrapped around her waist, Jiang Ming leaned closer and began nibbling on her ear, causing her to lose composure.
He knew that once he started teasing her, then she would become a coy little girl that would listen to him.
"Won't you please meet her downstairs?" Jiang Ming said in a gentle toy. "I have said that my influence on you is sky high and that you would definitely meet up with her."
While saying that, his hands started turning naughtier as he slid under her clothes. When Yang Liqin felt his naughty hands creeping closer to her breast, she trembled slightly in fear. They had just gone through numerous battles in bed previously, and she really could not endure another fiery battle.
Using her hand to stop his advancement, Yang Liqin swallowed some of her saliva nervously.
"I-Isn't it just a meeting… I'll go to meet with her, so don't do it." Yang Liqin was flustered completely, unable to resist this beast. She didn't know how to deal with him any longer if he just kept on teasing her body like that.
'I'm such a horrible aunt…' She thought.
Sometime later, Yang Liqin finished putting up some makeup to look decent enough before heading downstairs with Jiang Ming.
Though her legs were a bit shaky, most likely due to the pain and soreness on her legs from the intense activity.
Meanwhile, Yuan Chunhua who had been diligently waiting patiently on the couch was dumbfounded to see Yang Liqin's abnormal steps.
She knew exactly how strong Yang Liqin was, so she was baffled by her movement which seemed to have gotten injured.
'Why are Senior Yang Liqin's legs shaking rapidly?' She wondered silently.
After a few more pondering, and connecting the pungent smell that she accidentally sniffed, Yuan Chunhua's expression turned complicated as she quickly shook her head.
She didn't want to nor dare to imagine the scene that she was thinking about.
A few seconds later, Yang Liqin arrived in the living room and quickly sat down. Her ice-cold gaze landed on her Jiang Ming, clearly blaming everything on him for being such a savage beast.
Jiang Ming calmly tilted his head to avoid her gaze, acting completely innocent.
How could she blame him when such a beauty was openly ready for him to devour?
Any man that refused such an invitation could only belong into two categories: gay or incapable of raising his little brother up.
Yang Liqin suddenly faked a cough as she returned her attention to Yuan Chunhua, who clearly had an indescribable expression.
"Why did you request to meet with me?" Yang Liqin ignored her expression and asked in a stern tone. She had changed from a gentle and loving aunt into someone who looked like a fierce businesswoman.
The sternness in her tone frightened Yuan Chunhua deeply and caused her to change her sitting posture. Her posture was one where a child was attending a parent-teacher conference alongside their parents. It was a frightening yet horrifying experience.
Jiang Ming could tell the atmosphere was suffocating, to say the least, and wished to retreat sneakily. There was no way he would want to get into a crossfire between the two.
Alas, before he could even take another step, Yang Liqin said, "Make another step and you're going to get it."
It was that simple warning that caused Jiang Ming to hurriedly sit next to her and remain silent. He might have had the upper hand upstairs previously but now the tables had turned.
Yang Liqin didn't even bother to look at Jiang Ming as her eyesight remained fixated upon Yuan Chunhua who was sweating profusely.
"I don't plan on hiding things since I could tell what you had in mind when I came downstairs." Yang Liqin said calmly. "I have indeed made love with my nephew, so that alone should give you an understanding of how furious I was when I nearly had to watch him being in a coffin."
Yuan Chunhua's face turned ashen white. She didn't expect Yang Liqin to outright admit to committing a taboo relationship directly. Not to mention, she could vividly tell that Yang Liqin didn't find the matter shameful at all and was proud of herself for improving her relationship with Jiang Ming.
"I-I…" Yuan Chunhua tried to respond but was speechless. She held a dreaded expression as she wondered what her fate would become now that she had found out this secret.
Yang Liqin didn't mind her reaction as she tapped on Jiang Ming's shoulder.
"Go make me some ginseng tea. I want to recuperate my stamina a bit." She said, clearly making an excuse to have him leave the living room so she could have a private conversation with Yuan Chunhua.
Jiang Ming twitched his mouth as he felt like a puppet. One moment, she ordered him to stay and the next moment, she was urging to him get the fuck out.
Woman… truly a living being that could not be comprehended.
He thought and hurriedly got up to walk toward the kitchen without complaining at all. Since Yang Liqin's attitude made it clear, then he would not dare to eavesdrop and take his merry time to brew some flawless ginseng tea.
Once Jiang Ming exited the living room, Yang Liqin stared at Yuan Chunhua with a chilly gaze, prompting her to shudder slightly.
"Since you are so desperate to request a meeting with me, then I'll be straightforward with you." Yang Liqin said calmly as she crossed her legs.
"Are you interested in being one of Jiang Ming's lovers and serving him well in the future? My nephew is a playboy through and through, but that doesn't matter to me. What matters is that I can tell he has some affection toward you which is why I even agreed to meet with you in the first place."
